SODELPA Leader, Viliame Gavoka says their call for the Prime Minister to withdraw the bill to amend the iTaukei Land Trust Act has nothing to do with race or the Attorney General but about proper consultation and iTaukei land rights.

While responding to the Prime Minister’s comments, Gavoka says they are gathering signatures to table a petition on Monday, and they want the Prime Minister to remove the bill as it cannot be a consequential bill.

Gavoka says he cannot be termed an urban elite as he is from Nadroga, and lives in Sila, in the tikina of Cuvu.

He also says this is not a racist move or attack.
