Great Council of Chiefs Taskforce Chairman, Ratu Tuakitau Cokanauto said although the interim government has made changes to two important recommendations the taskforce submitted, it does not mean that their work is a waste of time and taxpayers money.
Cokanauto defends the work they have carried out and said the people supported the changes proposed by the taskforce.
The Bau high chief said it would be not Vakaturaga if the interim government reject their recommendation and add something else.
Ratu Tuakitau Cokanauto said he will seek a meeting with the Interim Prime Minister Commodore Frank Bainimarama on the cabinet decision which has led to the Indigenous Affairs Minister being appointed Chairman of the GCC.
He revealed that they were not consulted on changes to the GCC regulations.
The Taskforce was appointed to gather submissions from people around the country and forwarded its recommendations to the cabinet late last year.
