Parliament is to be streamed live on the Internet when it convenes on Monday for the first time in the refurbished Chamber in Government Buildings.
The proceedings can be seen on the following link: www.parliamentlive.gov.fj
This is an addition to the streaming available at Connect Fiji's myconnect homepage - https://my.tfl.com.fj/.
Both sites will go "live" on Monday morning in time for the historic official Swearing In Ceremony for new MPs at 1000.
The Minister for Communications, Aiyaz Sayed-Khaiyum, said the live streaming would give Fijians an unprecedented level of access to the proceedings of Parliament and set new levels of transparency.
"And, of course, it makes MPs more accountable. Standards of behaviour in the Chamber are bound to be kept high if our elected representatives know they are being watched by the people who sent them there", he said.
The Minister said hosting the proceedings on two websites should avoid any problems with connectivity.
"As anyone familiar with the Internet knows, it can sometimes be frustrating to be confronted with continuous buffering or dropouts. We want everyone with access to the Internet to be able to watch Parliament in session", he added.
