A former Parliamentarian is calling on the Government to urgently formalize village by-laws as part of Fiji’s response to the drug problem, arguing that community-based enforcement is a critical missing link in current legislation. In a recent submission, Niko Nawaikula stated that Fiji once maintained effective governance through village by-laws, traditional leadership, and native courts.
