As preparations for a new constitution is set to start next year, Attorney General Aiyaz Sayed-Khaiyum says people including governments should always ensure that they do not breach the rights stated in the constitution.
Sayed-Khaiyum said going into December 2006, the previous government was bringing in laws that were clearly in breach of the constitution.
While speaking during a recent PINA Media workshop, Sayed-Khaiyum said everyone should also understand what the rule of law is.
He said people should not be selective and not only follow the constitution when it suits them.
Consultations on the drafting of Fiji’s new constitution will start in September next year.
