Lenora Qereqeretabua's Very Good Question

pn433

Fiji has three official languages under the 1997 and 2013 Constitutions,  English, Fijian and Hindi, but only English is allowed in Parliament.  

Yet the Bainimarama government has made the teaching of all three languages compulsory in primary schools, and examinable in secondary schools. Why then not all three languages in Parliament? If you really want to keep a language alive, you use it.

 National Federation Party parliamentarian Lenora Qereqeretabua has a very good question: "Why are parliamentarians not allowed to speak in their iTaukei dialects and Fiji Hindi in parliament?"
