Agni Deo Singh, the Minister for Employment, Productivity and Industrial Relations said the ongoing process of democratizing institutions, particularly municipal councils was underway.

He was speaking during the Educators for Climate Justice and Just Transition Conference at the Tanoa Waterfront Hotel in Lautoka on Tuesday.
