Update: 3:10PM UNCONDITIONAL immunity should be irrevocably granted to the President, Prime Minister and Cabinet ministers, Republic of Fiji Military Forces, Fiji Police Force, Fiji Corrections Service, the judiciary, the public service and any public office, it has been proposed in the draft constitution.
A provision in the draft document says that notwithstanding the abrogation of the Constitution Amendment Act 1997 and despite of the repeal of the Constitution of the Sovereign Democratic Republic of Fiji (Promulgation Decree, 1990) the immunity granted in chapter XIV of the 1990 Constitution shall continue.
The immunity provision should not be reviewed, amended, altered, repealed or revoked by Parliament, the draft constitution says.
The 92-page draft constitution states that the draft document which was reviewed by the government legal team says the immunities granted to prescribed political events under the Limitation of Liability for Prescribed Political Events Decree 2010 shall continue in existence.
