Bainimarama Bans the Meeting of the Great Council of Chiefs

The interim Government has suspended all meetings of the Great Council of Chiefs, saying it does not recognise it.

In reaction to the council's rejection on Wednesday of the nomination by President Ratu Josefa Iloilo of a Vice President, interim Prime Minister Commodore Voreqe Bainimarama said all government resources within the council secretariat would now be re-directed to other government departments.

"The GCC will only be convened if, and when, the interim government sees it appropriate," he said.
