Proposed party not using Fiji coat of arms – AG

It has been clearly established that the proposed Fiji First Party is not using the Fiji Coat of Arms.

The Fiji National Coat of Arms consists of the images of two Fijian warriors on either side of a shield and the motto “Rerevaka na Kalou ka Doka na Tui” below the shield.

The shield from the coat of arms has the image of a lion holding a cocoa pod across the top, sugarcane, a coconut palm and bunch of bananas are represented in three of the shield’s sections.

The fourth contains the reproduction of a dove of peace, the main feature of the Cakobau Government’s flag before cession.

The proposed party is using the shield displayed on the Fijian flag.

When questioned by Fijivillage, Attorney General Aiyaz Sayed-Khaiyum said claims that the proposed Fiji First Party is using the Fiji Coat of Arms are misleading.
