The Methodist Church has questioned the interim government on why they allowed some overseas consultants to oversee the work of the National Council for Building a Better Fiji and paying them such high salaries.

Church's Assistant Secretary Reverend Tuikilakila Waqairatu said given the poverty and hardship of the people, the payment of such salaries is grossly unfair.

Reverend Waiqaratu said the Interim Government was prioritizing a charter instead of showing its concern for the people by putting the much needed resources to poverty alleviation and the repair of the roads. The church minister added that another document, like the Charter, would not make a difference, and all the people need is true commitment to love our neighbor and the poor, the rule of law and the Constitution.

Meanwhile he said the Church Think Tank has been boosted with the membership of a number of USP academics and the President of the Fiji Council of Women Miriama Leweniqila.
