FijiFirst Leader, Voreqe Bainimarama has raised the question in a party rally in Rakiraki on who needs the Great Council of Chiefs and what will it bring to Fiji.

Bainimarama says some of the parties are talking about the GCC because they want the votes of the iTaukei.

He says no one missed the GCC as the young people only want education and employment, and the GCC will not provide that to them.

The FijiFirst Leader also says the other parties do not know how to lead Fiji.
