The newly elected President of the Church, Reverend Ame Tugawe moved a motion this morning in the second day of the Methodist Church conference, that the church will only recognise an elected government by the people to make changes to the law of the land.

Although the issue has been widely discussed by the church leaders today, our reporter Dreu Vukailagi said members of the conference maintain their position, to oppose the Draft Charter as initiated by the military led government.

Meanwhile, the topic on the Draft Charter will be highlighted again this Thursday by the Chairman of the Social Services, Reverend Manasa Lasaro.

The Election of the church executives are currently underway.

Prisoner, Josefa Baleiloa who was allegedly assaulted by police officers during his arrest a few weeks ago is still admitted in hospital.

According to police, Baleiloa is still recovering and will be questioned in relation to a series of robberies once he is discharged.

Police could not confirm whether an investigation is underway to determine how Baleiloa sustained injuries which led him to be on a life support machine. Baleiloa who escaped from the Naboro Prison was arrested by police in Cunningham.
