SODELPA to revoke all decrees if elected 13:15 Mon Mar 10, 2014 Social Democratic Liberal Party leader Ro Teimumu Kepa says they plan to revoke all current decrees if it forms government after elections. Ro Teimumu says this will be a priority for SODELPA. “Our first legislative action will be to revoke all current restrictive decrees on fundamental freedoms and political and civil rights. We shall also instantly remove all the restrictions which Commodore Bainimarama and the Military had imposed on the Methodist Church. We will ensure a judiciary that is truly independent and which is able to function without unwarranted limitations on its jurisdiction. Only then can ordinary citizens be assured of effective justice for all in the protection of their fundamental rights and freedoms. As I have already stated we shall be seeking advice from the Supreme Court on the status in law of the 1997 Constitution. We shall also undertake a comprehensive review of the legality of the Fiji National Provident Fund’s unilateral reductions of pension entitlements and ensure that pension contractual agreements are honoured. We will engender more transparency and accountability for members on how their funds are used.” fbc.fj/fiji/18226/sodelpa-to-revoke-all-decrees-if-elected
