Rokoika Law P.C., a Cook Islands-based law firm, has been awarded the contract to review the Fiji Ministry of iTaukei Lands and Fisheries Commission and its century old laws. The review aims to identify and recommend reforms for the Itaukei Lands Act 1905, which no longer aligns with contemporary governance standards and the needs of the indigenous community. We are delighted and honoured to have been awarded the contract to recommend reforms for this century-old legislation. This project represents a significant responsibility, and we are fully committed to the thoroughness and integrity required in this review. The work involved is substantial, requiring in-depth analysis, extensive research, and engagement with various stakeholders and the indigenous population for their insight. We have set up our Facebook page titled Native Land & Fisheries Commission Review Team (https://rb.gy/27j1sx ) to be inclusive in this consultation and to gather information from the diaspora without the need to leave Fiji. We need to complete this review within the next three months, providing a well-rounded and informed analysis that will support the necessary updates to the Act. We look forward to the challenges and opportunities this review presents and are committed to delivering results that will contribute to this founding legislation’s continued relevance and effectiveness. “Our legal experts, researchers, and social scientists will work diligently to ensure that the review is thorough and that our recommendations will contribute to more effective governance.” Our team comprises Ms Rokoika, Mr. Tevita Domocokai, Ratu Tevita Bukarau, Ms Terai Boaza and Ms Iva Vakalalabure. The outcome is expected to be crucial in modernising Fiji’s approach to the TLFC whilst balancing tradition with contemporary governance needs.
