Permanent Secretary for Information Lt Colonel Neumi Leweni also confirmed that the Church will not be allowed to hold their monthly circuit meetings.
Lt Colonel Leweni said in a meeting at the Methodist Church office this morning, Prime Minister Commodore Voreqe Bainimarama stressed to the 130 church ministers that the one day meeting they are currently having is the place for them to discuss issues about the church and their members.
