Constituent Assembly bill needs to be revisited

By Loretta B Manele

The Constituent Assembly bill was defeated today but I want to urge us that this means we will have to come back, sit down and look properly into the bill and bring it back to parliament.

Alfred Lazarus Rina, the member of parliament for East Central Guadalcanal constituency raised this on Thursday, 19th Dec last month during the Sine Die Motion in parliament.

He said this bill is the wish of some of our provinces, especially Guadalcanal province and people from the province are really looking forward to the bill.

“So, I think that the government of the day should sit down and look into the bill again because it is an important bill and we are deciding things that will affect the future generations”

He added that what they want to see is the bill to be something that will help the country’s future generations.

Rina reiterated his call for the GNUT government to find a way to bring the bill back to parliament so they can find a meaningful way to have it passed in parliament.
