The Tikina Ono-i-Lau presented their matanigasau to the chiefs of Lau and their chairman Ratu Tevita Uluilakeba Mara last night to ask for forgiveness for the outburst of their nominee, Anare Jale who claimed that he was supposed to be the new chairman of the province.
Mara said Jale should know better as a former civil servant and he should have understood the regulations under the Fijian Affairs Act.
Jale and Sakiusa Raivoce from the Tikina Oneata were not allowed into the Lau Provincial Council meeting after receiving letters from the Fijian Affairs Permanent Secretary, Ratu Meli Bainimarama that they are not eligible to represent their respective Tikinas.
