The interim regime has decided to allow former Fiji residents voting rights in future general elections if they obtain dual citizenship.
Under the regime's Citizenship Decree, former Fiji residents who have migrated overseas can now obtain dual citizenship with blue Fiji passports.
Previous constitutions and even the abrogated 1997 Constitution disallowed dual citizenship.
Coupfourpointfive has been told some sections of Fiji's society are not happy saying this is unfair and discriminatory as these former citizens have no interest in Fiji other than to visit relatives or in the case of a few, establish businesses.
A dual citizenship application costs $3500 and currently the interim regime claims about 50 former residents are applying every month for Fiji passports.
This blog is a result of the heavy censoring of the media by Fiji's dictatorship regime.
NEWS WORTHY COMMENTS BY YOU!
Few weeks ago Coup 4.5 reported the saga between Fiji One's Satish Narayan and Bainimarama's daughter. Yesterday June 17, 2013 Satish Narayan received his walking papers from Fiji One.
It is understood that Bainimarama called a board member of Fiji One, Padam Lala and told him if Fiji One wants their License in tact, they will have to sack Satish Narayan.
Padam Lala instructed Tarun Patel to sack Satish Narayan immediately, If Patel wanted to keep his job.
The employees of FBC were told of the firing of Narayan way before the employees of Fiji One were made aware of.
Lets hope that Fiji One will not find themselves as part of the FBC in near future. on Burrow: ITUC will push for Commission of Inquiry on Fiji

Editor, we learn from a Fiji Times report that Minister for Housing, Environment, Local Government and Urban Development Colonel Samuela Saumatua has resigned "for personal reasons" according to a statement issued by the Ministry of Information yesterday (FT 18/6).
Be that as it may, my question is why should the Attorney-general Aiyaz Saiyad-Khaiyum "assume the position om an acting basis until a successor was appointed"?
Is Mr Khaiyum the only capable man in the illegal military regime in Fiji? Doesn't he have enough portfolios already?
What would this new addition take the total number of portfolio being handled by this Fiji superman? sincerely, rajend naidu sydney on Burrow: ITUC will push for Commission of Inquiry on Fiji

Anything to top up our depleting coffers!
Is the purchase of these illegal passports going to be accepted by an elected Government once the coup is over ?
Are these people throwing away good money, just to keep Frank and the Regime operational for the very short term ?
Great policy. It may not compensate for the decades of racist policies and marginalizing of the Indo Fijians which led to their mass migration after 1987, but it will go a long way towards healing the hurt in the hearts of these people. I have never met a single such migrant who did not have a wish to go home to Fiji. Aah, ab laut chalo. (Come. let us go home}.Come home and help to build a new nation.
@ Manju.
Along what lines? ie: mean like the Indian dominated (run) sugar industry?
When the last Indians finally depart our beloved Islands could someone ensure they take those bloody Mynah birds & that acursed Mongoose?
And thus the bloggers on this blog site are stripped bare. The Indians should leave taking the mynah birds and mongooses (mongeese?) with them? Oh dear, full marks for racial hatred and undemocratic hate speeches!!
