Prime Minister Commodore Voreqe Bainimarama told the people of Seaqaqa that Fiji’s new Constitution is fundamentally different from the three Constitutions Fiji had since Independence.
While opening the new Seaqaqa Secondary School Telecenter, Commodore Bainimarama said for the first time, everyone is equal, everyone is called a Fijian and everyone’s vote will have the same value during the election before the end of September next year.
Commodore Bainimarama also highlights that the 2013 Constitution guarantees and protects the rights of every Fijian - the right to housing and sanitation, the right to health and education, reasonable access to transportation, adequate food, clean water and a just minimum wage.
Meanwhile, Government telecentres at the Nadogo Secondary School and the Shri Guru Nanak Khalsa College in Labasa town will be opened today by the Prime Minister.
