Chiefs of the Vanua of Ra took to the streets of Rakiraki Town this morning, calling for the dissolution of the 2013 Constitution.

Videos on social media show more than 10 people taking part in the march.

They are heard saying that they are conducting a peaceful protest against the 2013 Constitution which has guided us for a few years now.

They say they want a Constitution that protects the iTaukei.

They also say this Constitution has been a hindrance to the development of iTaukei people.

The protesters also say they want to thank the Police for giving them the permit to conduct this peaceful march.

They have thanked the Vanua of Rakiraki and its elders for coming out to be part of this peaceful march.

The protesters also say the 2013 Constitution was put together by only two people – Aiyaz Sayed-Khaiyum and Voreqe Bainimarama and it does not have the people’s voice.

Police confirm the protesters had a permit.
