The mata ni tikina of Nailaga, Ba, Jeremaia Tuwai who looks after seven villages and four settlements said it is time to move away from the race based system and playing the race card in the country.
While speaking in Lautoka yesterday at the draft constitution consultation session, Tuwai said that for too long they have been misled by people.
Tuwai said the people of Nailaga commend the draft constitution and firmly believe that this is by far the best draft constitution written.
Tuwai said the i-taukei people for long have been followers and have been misled but things will change now.
We contacted former Prime Minister, Laisenia Qarase on the issue raised by Tuwai to which Qarase said he will not comment on it and has referred it to the proposed SODELPA officials.
Proposed SODELPA official, Doctor Tupeni Baba said there are no substantive comments and if someone has to talk from Ba it has to be Tuwai’s chief, Adi Laite Koroirau.
We are also trying to get comments from Ratu Naiqama Lalabalavu and Ro Teimumu Kepa.
