The Prime Minister Commodore Voreqe Bainimarama has issued a stern order for no disruptions to the peace Fiji currently has when the Public Emergency Regulations is lifted tomorrow.
In his address to the nation this morning, Commodore Bainimarama urged all citizens not to be swayed by a few selfish individuals.
Commodore Bainimarama said the government had put in place the Public Emergency regulations to ensure that the country move forward through reforms without letting the self interests of a few individuals get in the way.
He said the lifting of the regulations marks an important step towards the public consultations for the formation of a new constitution under which a truly democratic system can be held.
Commodore Bainimarama adds no modern state wishes disorder upon itself such as the acts of terrorism, racial riots, religious and ethnic vilification.
He highlighted that Fiji had experienced terrorism through the events of 2000 however now with the Public order Decree 2012 it effectively addresses these issues.
The PER which has been in place since April 2009 will cease tomorrow.
