SUVA, Fiji ----- Fiji's administration is standing by its decision not to involve two of the country's media organisations from consultations on a new media decree expected to come into effect next month.
Permanent Secretary for Information Neumi Leweni said the Fiji Times and Fiji Television Limited would not be considered because of their failure to work with Government.
"We are not changing our stand and that is final," Lieutenant-Colonel Leweni said. Consultations on the new media promulgation will begin once the Attorney- General's office has finished drafting the decree.
The media decree was expected to come into effect in February.
Fiji's leader Commodore frank Bainimarama had confirmed that the Public Regulations Emergency would be lifted once the decree came into effect.
Fiji's media has been under censorship since the public emergency regulations came into place in April last year.
