Outgoing Methodist Church of Fiji President Reverend Laisiasa Ratabacaca in his message to the 800 members at the Annual Conference had made it clear that the decision on whether the draft Peoples Charter will go ahead is in the hands of the interim government.

After new President Reverend Ame Tugawe moved the motion for the church to be firm in their decision not to support the coup, Reverend Ratabacaca said the present government will know the " will of the people" when they will go for elections as the public have been informed through the church on what is in the charter.

This Thursday the Chairman of the Social Services Reverend Manasa Lasaro will let the members know on each issue the church is against in the Charter before a form will be given out for all Methodist Church members to sign not to show their support for the Charter.

Meanwhile, the Fiji Indigenous Business Council believes that there is not much support from the people of Fiji for the Draft Peoples Charter as claimed by the Interim Prime Minister.

FIBC Chief Executive Joe Taoi said the whole intentions of the interim government are being forced upon the people.
