Kamikamica also estimates that extending consultations could cost up to $100,000, mainly for transportation and allowances.
He is urging political leaders to read the proposed changes carefully, maintaining that the Bill addresses iTaukei concerns while preserving minority rights, equal citizenship, the Bill of Rights and protection of freehold land.

- #WATER | Fijians are being urged to stop washing their cars and driveways and watering their gardens as Fiji faces worsening water shortages due to the El Niño drought, which is expected to remain very strong into early 2027.
This has been highlighted by Minister for Public Works Ro Filipe Tuisawau urging households, businesses, schools and communities to use water only for essential needs and help conserve the country's water supply.
Meanwhile, Opposition MP Jone Usamate says the impact of El Niño will extend beyond the end of this year, with agricultural impacts expected to continue until the middle of next year.
He says the public awareness message about the seriousness of the water situation has not been communicated strongly adding during his visit to the North, he witnessed several fires along the way, which he says were linked to the lack of water.

Opposition MP Premila Kumar says the proposed Constitution does not adequately protect minority communities, adding that fear and the burning of homes continue to affect Indo-Fijian families, causing many talented people to leave Fiji.
Fiji Labour Party Leader Mahendra Chaudhry also says minority communities, particularly Indo-Fijians, are being sidelined, while raising concerns about migration, rural neglect and poverty.

- #CONSTITUTIONBILLCONSULTATION | Fiji Human Rights and Anti-Discrimination Commission Commissioner Alefia Vuki says 11 days is not enough for ordinary Fijians to understand the proposed constitutional changes and make informed decisions.
Vuki says the Constitution is a complex legal document, and the Government should provide public education to help people understand the proposed changes.
She says people need time to discuss the documents with teachers, doctors and other professionals who can explain them in simple language.
Vuki is also calling for the documents to be translated into iTaukei, Hindi and other languages so more people can understand the proposals and have their say.
