Fiji regime dispels land ownership concerns

1:57 pm on 1 August 2013

The Fiji regime leader, Commodore Frank Bainimarama, says it's wrong to say under the new constitution land ownership is no longer safe.

According to the Fijilive website, Commodore Bainimarama has told people in Navosa that politicians have spread lies about the draft constitution.

He is quoted as saying these people will be exposed as liars when the final constitution is unveiled.

The regime is still finalising the document after collecting submissions which have not been made public.

It says the new constitution will be released this month.

Last year, it decreed that it be ready by late March, but in January it dumped the draft by the Constitution Commission and tasked its own legal team to produce a new draft.
