The Roko Tui Dreketi, Ro Teimumu Kepa has today confirmed to Village News that an offer was made to the Chairman of the Great Council of Chiefs, Tavua High Chief, Ratu Ovini Bokini to have their meeting in Rewa.

It was earlier reported that a planned GCC meeting would either be held in Bau on the supposed invite by Bau High Chief, Ratu Epenisa Cakobau or in Rewa this week.

According to Ratu Ovini, the planned GCC meet is to discuss the appointment of a Vice President, which he deems to be critically important.

However Interim Fijian Affairs Minister, Ratu Epeli Ganilau said only the suspension of the GCC meetings has been revoked, which means that the council can sit after a date is confirmed by the interim minister. Ratu Epeli said the termination of all GCC members is still in place and no one has been reinstated, as earlier announced.
