The Political Dialogue Forum is expected to take place this Friday with the likely exclusion of two political party leaders as the Interim Prime Minister is disappointed with their public comments.
Commodore Frank Bainimarama said that he is not happy with the comments by National Federation Party General Secretary Pramod Rae supporting the ultimatum given by CMAG on an election date before September 2009 and therefore his participation is questionable.
Bainimarama said he is also disappointed with SDL Leader Laisenia Qarase's statements supporting the International Bar Association where they found no confidence in the rule of law in Fiji and administration of justice in Fiji.
Bainimarama said a decision on whether or not Rae and Qarase will participate in the Forum will be made before Friday.
The Political Dialogue Forum is expected to take place to discuss a way forward for Fiji which includes the convening of the Presidential Forum in a couple of months.
