The Kadavu Provincial Council maintains that they are only relaying the thoughts of their people in regards to what they think about the Draft People's Charter.
Ratu Varani Rayawa said the comments made by the Interim Prime Minister Commodore Frank Bainimarama that it is not the job of the provincial councils in the country to say that they reject the draft People's Charter as it is an arm of government is true, but it is also an important part of their job to analyse what affects their people.
Provincial Councils can reject the People's Draft Charter, it is part of their job to analyse what affects their people.
These are the words of the Head of Charter Committee of Rewa Provincial Council, Ro Filipe Tuisawau who adds the Provincial Councils are not just rubber stamps in such cases.
These comments are in response to Interim Prime Minister Frank Bainimarama saying that it is not the job of the Provincial Councils to reject the Draft Charter as they are part of government.
