Supreme Court outcome restores genuine democratic control of the Constitution to Fiji’s people - Prof Prasad

Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance Professor Biman

Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance Professor Biman Prasad says although they have yet to take legal advice on the full legal implications of the Supreme Court case, they believe the outcome is a just one as it returns to Fiji’s people genuine democratic control over their own supreme law.

While responding to the Supreme Court's opinion on the amendment provisions of the 2013 Constitution, Professor Prasad says now we can move to the next phase - to begin a full national dialogue into the constitution we all want, with a fully representative Constitutional Review Commission where all our people are heard and their views respected and taken into account.

He says this is a day for our citizens to celebrate and to begin the process of rebuilding our law and governance, finally consigning to history the legacy of dictatorship and disrespect of Voreqe Bainimarama and Aiyaz Sayed-Khaiyum.
