Mr Bulitavu made the call in parliament, highlighting that unlike the previous constitution, the current one was never put to parliament.
He said unless that was done, Fiji would not be a full democracy.
Mr Bulitavu also defended the 1987 coup as a step to make Fiji a republic.
"The 2006 coup was useless because Fiji was already a sovereign, democratic State. However, what is done cannot be undone, but we need to remove some tentacles of a dictatorial system at work today and the spirit of intimidation, suspicion and fear cannot be part of a nation which wants to achieve greatness," said Mosese Bulitavu.
