A document released by the National Council for Building a Better Fiji (NCBBF) revealed that 92.5 percent of the people consulted have supported the draft People’s Charter.

The NCBBF said they have consulted a total of 418,855 people up to this Monday, which represents 78.5 percent of the adult population.

Of this number, a total of 367,183 people provided their feedback by completing the Response Forms and of this a total of 339,497 or 92.5% affirmed their support for the draft People's Charter.

10,798 people or 3% of those completing the response forms also expressed support for the draft Charter but subject to certain changes being incorporated.

Those not supporting the draft Peoples Charter totaled 12,965 representing 4 percent of the respondents. Those who opposed did so for various reasons and the key amongst them are politics, church and traditional association.

Public responses on the draft Charter was also collated including submissions from three political parties, Fiji Labour Party, SVT and UPP.

It is recommended that the NCBBF adopt the draft People's Charter consultation report, endorse the few proposed changes and amendments to the draft People's Charter and submit the report to the President.

The final NCBBF meeting will kick off later this morning.
