Disqualify coup perpetrators from politics - Tokoni

We need to remove the immunity provisions to disqualify all coup perpetrators from participating in politics.

Josaia Tokoni from the Fiji Council of Social Services stated this while making his submission to the Fiji Law Reform Commission on the Electoral Act at the Fiji Teachers Association Hall in Suva.

While responding to the comments, Electoral Law Reform Commission Chair, Daniel Fatiaki says what really interests him is Tokoni’s point of candidate qualification or disqualification.

Fatiaki says he might just be the second person they have heard throughout all their consultations to bring up disqualifying people who were involved in the coups.

He says he would be very interested in how Tokoni would frame the disqualification criterion.
