Political instability in the country is linked with the lack in sense of having a national identity according to the Citizens Constitutional Forum.
CCF Programme Manager Rodney Yee said with the announcement by the Prime Minister Commodore Voreqe referring to the People’s Charter as being on the list of issues that need to be considered in the constitution making process, Pillars 1 and 2 presents challenges on the acceptance of a common name “Fijian” from their survey they conducted.
A CCF survey found that many in the itaukei community are not ready to accept everyone being called a “Fijian” due to the fear and misconception that it will diminish their itaukei rights and their land being taken away from them.
