Thanks for your concern & action regarding land sales policy in Fiji. I have been advised by the Hon
Minister of Lands & Mineral Resources, Mr. Tevita Vuibau to clarify that all lands sales restrictions
imposed by the Military Council in December 2006 has been lifted by the Interim Government. The
restriction was just about two weeks. Its primary objective was to see number of land sales & and whether
proper procedures were followed & also see possible ways to improve service delivery. Everything is now
back to normal.
It is indeed sad that people are blowing things out off proportion without getting facts from us. Thanks for
your support. Things in Fiji are normal and safer for the tourists & investors than before. We wish you all
the best in your effort to promote us from that end.
