Prime Minister Commodore Voreqe Bainimarama has today revealed that he has spoken to the chairman of the Constitutional Commission Professor Yash Ghai a number of times stating that there are no restrictions on people making constitution submissions.
Professor Ghai has said that certain laws should be reviewed if they are not conducive to a free environment.
He said any restrictions on freedom of expression, freedom of the assembly and media freedom should be removed.
He also said it is not fair for the government to criticize any submissions from anyone including political parties and NGOs.
Professor Ghai said it should be a free process and every Fijian must be heard.
Professor Ghai said the laws need to be reviewed to ensure that there is a truly inclusive process.
Commodore Bainimarama said Professor Ghai knows there are no restrictions on submissions in the constitutional process.
