Minister for Education Aseri Radrodro

Minister for Education Aseri Radrodro is urging Members of Parliament to support the review of the 2013 Constitution, and the necessary amendments to have the document reflect the will of the people and various aspects of a sustainable Fiji.

While speaking in support of the Constitution Amendment Bill, Radrodro says there are landowners and landowning units arguing about their land sales in certain parts of Fiji as well as awarding land leases for a lengthy period of time without approval.

The Education Minister says this Constitution also has provisions that need to be reviewed to ensure the true independence of the three arms of the State, especially those dealing with appointing authority, for instance the Constitutional Offices Commission.

Radrodro says they also want to see that the various aspects of our inherent rights are captured to reflect the proper rule of law and adherence to the principles of good governance.

As party leader, he stresses SODELPA will ensure people are provided the opportunity to be able to live peacefully in an economically stable community and have equal contribution to economic and social development.
