SODELPA Leader Sitiveni Rabuka

SODELPA Leader, Sitiveni Rabuka says some of the regulations that a SODELPA government will bring in would deal with the removal of the current equal distribution of iTaukei land lease money for the members of the landowning units and the reinstatement of the Great Council of Chiefs.

While speaking on Straight Talk, Rabuka said that one of the first things they will do is to bring back the old payment system of the iTaukei land lease money where distribution is based on the positions and the responsibilities that the people have in a landowning unit.

Rabuka says a SODELPA government will also bring back the GCC.

Meanwhile Rabuka says Fiji to be a Christian State is not a SODELPA manifesto issue and there was no need to have a section in the constitution to say that Fiji is a secular state.

He believes that Fiji is already a Christian State.
