Issue No: 602; 19 March 2001
Media reports that the Great Council of Chiefs will be meeting again within two weeks. It is believed that the meeting is in light of the widespread concern which people have on the President's flagrant violation of the 1997 Constitution which the Chiefs had endorsed as the valid supreme law in the country. When the Chiefs met last week, they had in no uncertain terms made it clear that they accepted the 1997 Constitution as the existing law of the land. Within days of this decision, however, the President, who was nominated by the Chiefs themselves, began a series of acts all of which were contrary to the provisions of the Constitution. It is believed that the President has been put in the indefensible corner by the advisors within the bureaucracy. |
