The Fiji Law Reform Commission consultation in Korovou saw low turnout, despite efforts to raise awareness. Chairman Daniel Fatiaki expressed disappointment and announced an upcoming consultation in Nausori to encourage public participation.
The consultation by the Fiji Law Reform Commission at the Korovou Police Station witnessed a surprisingly low attendance. Daniel Fatiaki, the chair of the Commission, expressed his disappointment, stating, “I really don’t know. I tried very hard to create awareness.” This reflects a potential gap in community engagement despite efforts to raise awareness about the event.
In an effort to boost participation, the Commission plans to conduct a consultation in Nausori later today. Mr. Fatiaki is actively urging the public to attend this session, highlighting the importance of community involvement in the law reform process to ensure diverse perspectives are considered.
The low turnout at the Fiji Law Reform Commission’s recent consultation indicates a need for improved community engagement strategies. Mr. Fatiaki’s appeal for public attendance at the upcoming Nausori consultation emphasizes the critical role of citizen participation in law reform discussions. Enhancing awareness and encouraging dialogue are essential for successful consultations moving forward.
