Sacked representative of the Tikina Oneata in the Lau group, Colonel Sakiusa Raivoce is of the view that former PSC chairman Anare Jale should have been the chairman of the Lau provincial council.
Raivoce said that Jale who is the representative from Ono-i-Lau would have been an excellent choice to take up the chairman's position.
Anare Jale was not allowed to enter the Lau provincial council meeting yesterday.
Ratu Tevita Uluilakeba Mara is the new chairman of the Lau provincial council while the Deputy Chairman is Ratu Josefa Basulu.
Meanwhile, the Public Service Commission chairman is unaware on whether civil servants and military officers can take up the chairman's post in the provincial council.
According to Rishi Ram this has happened for the first time and legal opinion needs to be sought.
