The interim Fiji Government claims the Constitutional Commission may have compromised its impartiality after a consultant paid by the body also made a submission to it.
A former vice president, Ratu Joni Madraiwiwi, was part of a delegation that made a submission calling for Fiji to be declared a Christian state.
The interim prime minister, Frank Bainimarama, says this breaches provisions in the decree setting up the Commission that stipulated that staff and consultants must observe the non-negotiable principles and be politically neutral.
One of these principles is that Fiji be a secular state and Commodore Bainimarama says Ratu Joni's action are a clear conflict of interest.
He says to ensure transparency the government will now require the Commission to publish the names and salaries of all staff and consultants.
