Interim Prime Minister Commodore Bainimarama has made another plea to political party leaders and those opposing the draft People's Charter to participate in the process now.
While launching the draft Charter consultation process at the Suva Civic Centre last night, Commodore Bainimarama said the work on the charter is people's democracy at work and everyone should now carefully analyze the charter and make contributions.
The interim Prime Minister had also hit out at those who have been calling for an early return to democracy, saying the previous Parliaments have failed to put in place better policies which could improve the livelihood of ordinary citizens.
Commodore Bainimarama added that he also wanted an early election but the date for the election will be decided by the interim government and not outsiders.
Bainimarama stressed that the charter will not be imposed on people as they would be consulted and briefed on each part of the charter and their views will be taken into consideration.
The National Council for Building a Better Fiji (NCBBF) Media Head, Filimoni Kau said after people are consulted on what the Draft Charter is all about, they will have their say on what they think, by signing a special response form.
Kau said the form will help the NCBBF measure people's opinion on whether they accept or reject the charter.
Kau added the signing of the form will be done in a transparent way, as witnesses will be assigned to verify the process.
Consultation begins today with more than fifty teams assigned around the country to carry out the work.
