The consultation process for the draft People's Charter in the Province of Lau is likely to take over three weeks to complete.

This has been confirmed by the Lau Provincial Administrator Meleti Rai, who said they only started their work on Tuesday and it will take long to cover all the villages taking into account the locations of the different villages in the Lau group.

Rai adds the response has been positive, and the fact that most of the people there are seeing the Draft Charter for the first time, is the reason they have decided to allow an overnight period to view and study the Charter first, before people make their decision to either accept or reject the Charter.
