In a private affair at Government House this morning, Fiji’s draft Constitution has been handed to President Ratu Epeli Nailatikau by the Constitution Commission.
The next process that is going to take place is where a Constituent Assembly appointed by the Prime Minister deliberates on the draft Document.
The work of the Constituent Assembly is expected to be completed by late March 2013.
The new constitution for Fiji shall come into effect on the day following the date of assent by the President, subject to any provision in the constitution that postpones the coming into effect of any aspect of the new constitution.
