People’s Alliance Leader Sitiveni Rabuka confirms that a People’s Alliance Government will review the operations and laws relating to the iTaukei Land Trust Board to ensure that it regains its independence.

Rabuka says thanks to Ratu Sir Lala Sukuna the native Fijians agreed to surrender the management of their land to an organisation that was called then the Native Land Trust Board.

He adds before that, leasing of native land was chaotic and corrupt and now in certain parts of Fiji this evil is re-emerging.

Rabuka says he was in Sakoca this week and their story is a very sad one indeed.

The former Prime Minister adds NLTB gave Fiji a method of sharing land based on an orderly predictable system of legally binding leases.

Rabuka further says access to native land became easier and there was certainty for the land owners and tenants.

He says what Ratu Sukuna helped to create has been held up as a model for the administration, use and development of customary land and it has helped Fiji’s economy to grow and it has created jobs.

Rabuka adds a People’s Alliance Government will ensure TLTB fully and fairly addresses the needs of the landowners and tenants.

Rabuka adds they will ensure that TLTB gives special attention to local and foreign investors working on projects addressing priority areas of development bringing benefits to the country and landowners.
