The Interim Attorney General Aiyaz Sayed-Khaiyum told the employees of the Treasure Island Resort that the draft Peoples Charter is not taking away the land or the identity of the indigenous people.

While highlighting the issue of common name in the draft Charter upon his Island Resort visit, Sayed-Khaiyum told the staff that the indigenous Fijians will still be the i taukei and they will not lose anything.

He said having a common name creates nationhood and it will stop politicians from creating divisions. Sayed-Khaiyum cited an example of the great rugby legend and Australian David Campese whose family were Italians and had migrated to Australia. He said Campese was born in Australia and he is known as an Australian.

Similarly he said International golfer Vijay Singh is always referred to as a Fijian golfer whenever he plays in international tournaments.

Meanwhile, director of the Island Resort Ponipate Turuva said that Interim Attorney General's clarifications were appreciated.
