Prime Minister Commodore Voreqe Bainimarama has admitted for the first time that everyone knew that the 1997 constitution would have to be abrogated at some stage following the events of December 5th, 2006.
Speaking to a reporter from the Al Jazeera, Commodore Bainimarama was questioned why the constitution was removed when the Peoples Charter for Change stresses that the Constitution was the highest law of the land.
According to Bainimarama, the High Court ruling which called for a neutral person to be appointed Prime Minister of Fiji was not in accordance to the 1997 constitution.
