Fiji should move away from being a secular state and become a Christian state, says Livai Koroitamana of Vugalei, Tailevu.

He also questioned the process through which the 2013 Constitution was introduced, saying people had not been properly informed or consulted.

“2013 Constitution there was no awareness, no consultation,we got a shock there was a constitution,” he said.

While making submissions on the Constitution (Amendment) Bill 2026 at Wailotua No 1 Village.

Mr Koroitamana called for the country to change its secular status.

“Remove secular state and change to Christian state.

“Reintroduce the Great Council of Chiefs (GCC) because they represent the iTaukei people.”

Mr Koroitamana further called for the term “Fijian” to be reserved for iTaukei people.
