The name of the Ministry of Indigenous Affairs is now changed to I Taukei Ministry as it was gazetted by the President of Fiji Ratu Epeli Nailatikau on the first day of this month.
Ministry's Deputy Permanent Secretary, Colonel Apakuki Kurusiga said his office and the officials in the Ministry are all aware of the amendments and they are been advised to get used to the name change.
Kurusiga added the name change was used last year but now it is in the Government gazette which must be used and respected.
Under the Fijian Affairs (Amendment) Decree 2010, all written laws, including any Act, promulgation, decrees and the titles of any written law are amended by deleting the word "Fijian" whenever it appears and wherever it currently refers to indigenous Fijians, and replacing it with "I Taukei".
