Don’t make comments like casting out the devil - AG

Attorney General, Aiyaz Sayed-Khaiyum and Mitieli Bulanauca.

Attorney General, Aiyaz Sayed-Khaiyum has today highlighted the racist comments made by SODELPA MP Mitieli Bulanauca outside Suva Civic Centre in 2000 and also told Bulanauca not to make comments like the Prime Minister has to cast out the devil.

Bulanauca had said that former Opposition Leader Sitiveni Rabuka had confessed for all his evil spirited and sinful deeds. He then invited Prime Minister Voreqe Bainimarama and Sayed-Khaiyum to do the same.

Sayed-Khaiyum has told Bulanauca that Rabuka did not cast out the devil but simply resigned from SODELPA and left to form a new party.

Sayed-Khaiyum says Police, the DPP’s Office, FICAC and the Solicitor General’s Office are independent legal institutions and operate on their own. He says they are not dictated by anyone.

He says Ro Teimumu Kepa displays the same rhetoric when she says that the 2013 Constitution was not done the right way.

The Attorney General says Ro Teimumu had no problems with the 1990 and 1997 constitutions.

Sayed-Khaiyum further says 19 consultations were held nationwide for the 2013 Constitution.
