Su'a William Sio: A man of many titles 

South Aucklanders know Su’a William 

Sio as the MP for Mangere, but 

there’s more to him than his parliamentary 

duties. 

In late October, he had bestowed 

upon him the title of paramount chief 

in his village of Letaupe, Matatufu in 

Lotofaga in the south-eastern part of 

Upolu, Samoa. 

About 50 members of his family from 

New Zealand and Australia gathered 

with those in Samoa for the official 

announcement. 

Through a ceremony which included 

the Council of Chiefs and orators in 

the village of Letaupe and the district 

of Lotofaga, his father declared that 

he would bequeath the title of ‘Aupito’ 

upon his son. His new name is Aupito 

Tofae Su’a William Sio. 

According to his own rough estimate 

Sio says he is the “15th person to 

hold the Aupito title since it was first 

bestowed in the late 1600s”. 

“It’s been an emotional journey for 

me and my family”. 

“My father Aupito Pupu Sio has been 

the paramount chief of our extended 

family when his brother who held the 

Aupito title before him died in 1980s,” 

says Sio. 

Aupito Pupu Sio had been a South 

Auckland taxi driver since the closure 

of factories in the 1980s. 

“He is probably the most senior 

Su’a William Sio being appointed the new chief in Samoa. 

member of existing shareholders of 

the South Auckland Taxi Association 

today. We have decided he should 

now retire and concentrate on his 

health,” Sio continues. 

The transfer of the Aupito title to his 

son also means the transfer of all authorities, 

rights and privileges vested 

in this Aupito title pertaining to all 

land holdings of those in his family 

and from his village. 

This process called “fa’aui le ula” 

back centuries.” 

Sio’s 18-year-old Joan will also have 

tasks to undertake as the daughter 

of the high chief and so she decided 

to have her legs tattooed as tradition 

dictates. 

“My youngest daughter in preparation 

for ceremonial duties that are often 

performed by a daughter of a paramount 

chief such as ‘siva’ (dance); 

‘palu ava’ (preparation of the kava) 

and taligamalo (hosting visitors) decided 

to have her legs tattooed with a 

‘malu’ (a woman’s traditional tattoos) 

last week by a traditional Samoan 

tattooist last week in Auckland.” 

He says his priority is to ensure that 

he can ensure his cultural values are 

passed down to the next generation. 

“I want our children in New Zealand, 

Australia and the United States to 

never forget their roots and to understand 

the core values of the Samoan 

or the transfer of a title from a living culture – family, education, faith; the 

chief to his son rarely occurs. importance of serving others - especially 

the most vulnerable in our fami- 

Sio says the title holds responsibilities 

for him overseas and here in lies and communities.”

Next year he plans to take his nephews 

and nieces to Samoa and begin

Samoa to allow left-hand 

drive vehicles again 

Left-hand drive vehicles will 

soon be allowed back into 

Samoa. 

Left-hand drive vehicles 

were banned when the 

country moved from driving 

on the right-hand side of the 

road to the left in 2009. 

But the Samoa Observer reported 

that the Land Transport 

Authority would allow 

them again from 1 April, but 

only as private vehicles. 

The authority’s road use 

manager, Tamaseugogo 

Tauiliili Leo Bartley, said 

there would be strict conditions 

and only 100 left-hand 

drive vehicles will be allowed 

into the country per month. 

The rule change will again 

see vehicles able to be imported 

from neighbouring 

American Samoa, as well 

as Hawaii and the mainland 

United States.

Samoa establishes Media Council 

Samoa Media Council members and consultants

Samoa’s first Media Council has been established 

after more than a decade. 

The local Journalist Association of Samoa 

had sought assistance from the British 

Thompson Foundation to draft a National 

Media Codes and Ethics. 

The first meeting of the council on Friday 

accepted changes and amendments to 

the codes of ethics which covers editorial, 

news, advertising and content management. 

The media council consists of 15 members 

including five media representatives and is 

chaired by a prominent lawyer, Leautulilagi 

Vanessa Barlow Schuster. 

“It’s been a long time coming and a lot of 

hard work preceded this. Without the work 

of many people and many in the industry, 

we would not have got so far. We had a 

piece of legislation, the Media Council Act, 

so it is now well overdue for us to be doing 

some work that was given to us under that 

legislation.”

Salelologa Immigration Branch praised 

ON JOB; Senior Immigration Officer Titimaea Tolai manning the 

Salelologa Immigration Division Office located on the 2nd floor of 

the Salelologa Market. 

By Nanai Taofiga Laveitiga 

Tuiletufuga 

An average of 20 plus Savaii residents 

frequents the Immigration Division’s 

Branch at Salelologa on a 

daily basis. 

“But the numbers does not do any 

justice to the convenience not to 

mention the money saved by the big 

island’s residents to travel to Apia for 

immigration services,” says Senior 

Immigration Officer Titimaea Tolai, 

one of the two permanent employees 

assigned to the Divisions Branch 

located at the second floor of the 

Salelologa Market. 

“Here at our Salelologa branch, we 

offer the same services available in 

our main Apia office. The services 

provided range from passport renewals, 

new passport applications and 

advisories on all immigration matters. 

“And the positive response from 

Savai’i residents mostly from isolated 

areas such as Falealupo and Asau is 

very motivational,” added Tolai, a 30 

year veteran with the Immigration Division. 

“Many of our clients are happy that 

they do not need to travel to Apia.” 

Currently, Chief Executive Officer 

with the Ministry of Prime Minister 

and Cabinet Agafili Shem Leo is hoping 

to improve the services in Savaii 

by securing a specialised laser printer 

to process new passports and 

passports renewals on the dot at the 

Salelologa location. 

The Salelologa Immigration Branch 

Office also houses services such as, 

the Savali Newspaper and the Recognised 

Seasonal Employment program 

all under the MPMC umbrella. 

The investment is in line with the 

government’s platform that what is 

available in Upolu should also be 

available for Savai’i. 

Elaborated Chief Executive Agafili; 

“Decentralising government services 

to the big island will save our Savai’i 

residents time and money especially 

when they don’t have to travel to 

Apia. And most importantly, they only 

need to go to the Salelologa Market 

place to access these government 

services. 

“The concept is also in line with the 

government’s Salelologa Township 

Development Project. 

“This is why government decided to 

invest in the Salelologa Township. 

“So services available in Apia are 

also readily available and affordable 

in Savai’i. 

“As business grows so will the economy 

of wider Savaii. 

“As demand for goods and services 

increases so wills activity in areas 

such as shipping, transport and air 

links.” 

“The ultimate target is not only to decentralise 

all of the government services 

from Apia to Salelologa but also 

to centralise all of the government’s 

branches scattered in the Salelologa 

vicinity under one roof-like a one stop 

mall. 

“Having a range of government services 

under one roof will eliminate 

Simone Penese from the MPMC main 

office a frequent visitor responsible for 

daily deliveries between the Main Office 

and Salelologa 

the present inconvenience for Savai’i 

residents to travel from one office to 

another. 

“Without a doubt, I remain firm on 

my administration’s resolve that all 

government services should also be 

readily available for our Savai’i residents.” 

The MPMC Salelologa Branch will 

help Savai’i residents with their immigration 

needs such as new passports 

and renewable and any issue 

related to immigration. 

The Savali Newspaper both in English 

and Samoan will also be distributed 

from Salelologa location. 

And any inquiries pertaining to the 

RSE initiative which is providing 

valuable employment for our people 

can be lodged with the Salelologa location. 

Ban on Chinese owned business, racist; PM Tuilaepa 

By Nanai Taofiga Laveitiga Tuiletufuga 

Prime Minister Tuilaepa Lupesoliai Sailele Malielegaoi 

has deep reservations with bans imposed 

by a number of village councils stopping Chinese 

businesses from setting up shops in their respective 

villages. 

Without naming the village councils, the Prime 

Minister told the Talamua.com; FM Radio Station 

that the ban exclusively targeting Chinese owned 

businesses is racist, (faailoga lanu). 

“Why Chinese? 

“Why not pick on other foreign business investors? 

“To single out the Chinese businesses is racially 

prejudiced,” says the Prime Minister. 

He says that he values the village council’s foresight 

to impose the ban to protect the interests 

of small village owned businesses but at the end 

of the day, it’s attracting new investors’ remains 

a government priority because it represents new 

employment and new income directly injected into 

families. 

“There is also the question of affordability,” continued 

the government leader. “No sane customer 

would by a product which is more expensive. 

“The government’s intention is to bring in foreign 

investors to Samoa as it opens up employment opportunities 

for our people and to help develop the 

economy of Samoa. 

“The more businesses we have create competition 

and prices go down and that’s aside from new employment 

opportunities for our people. 

Reportedly the main concern expressed by members 

of the public is that foreign owned businesses 

are taking over opportunities and businesses that 

should have been reserved for locals. 

There are also more foreigners doing jobs that 

could have been available to locals. 

But the Prime Minister countered that the Foreign 

Investment Act 2000 dictates and provide guidelines 

for foreign businesses interested in investing 

in Samoa. 

There is a reserve list under this Act, which lists 

the type of business activities that are reserved for 

Samoans and not for the foreigners. 

For instant, overseas investors are not allowed to 

start a public transport business, elei business, 

small shops, and other kinds of business. 

The process calls for foreign owned businesses to 

go through the Ministry of Commerce, Industry and 

Labour’s assessment to determine their investment 

before the application is it on to the Ministry 

of Revenue for a business license to be issued.

Govt. a step ahead for more World Bank funding 

World Banks’ Vice President East 

Asia and Pacific, Victoria Kwakwa 

in Apia. 

Vice-President Kwakwa (second from left) joins local leaders in the ground 

breaking ceremonies for the eCenter Landing Station in Tuasivi Savaii for 

the multi-million tala Tui-Samoa fibre optic cable. 


Government has indicated its priority 

projects which it will pursue for 

new funding from the World Bank’s 

International Development Association, 

(IDA) funds available to the 

Pacific region, which covers Samoa. 

And the changes are good with the 

IDA to increase its allocation to the 

Pacific region including Samoa for 

the next three years starting in July 

from US$360million to US$900 million. 

How much of that money will be 

given to Samoa is not clear. 

But the Bank’s Vice President of 

East Asia and Pacific, Victoria 

Kwakwa, in the country last week 

has assured Samoa stands to benefit 

a great deal. 

“This significant increase in support 

to Samoa, through the International 

Development Association, ensures 

we will be able to build on these 

successes to ensure the Samoan 

government’s development priorities 

can become a reality over the 

coming years.” 

After meeting with Prime Minister, 

Tuilaepa Sailele Malielegaoi and 

Minister of Finance, Sili Epa Tuioti, 

Vice President Kwakwa told the 

press that government has indicated 

its priority projects for possible 

IDA funding. 

The projects according to Ms. 

Kwakwa includes climate resilience 

infrastructure to complement Samoa’s 

tourism industry and growth 

as well as continued assistance in 

Information Technology, Education 

and Health. 

“For every dollar that a donor 

country like New Zealand gives, 

I.D.A. provides an additional three. 

We’ve really grown the volume for 

resources and it positions us in a 

much stronger place to support our 

countries particularly Samoa,” the 

Vice President told the local media. 

“We need to do better and think strategically 

about where the government’s 

priorities would be for using 

a significant scale up of resources 

of I.D.A. Samoa would benefit considerably 

from the resources that 

we’re able to bring to the table and 

it will increase by three fold. 

“This is a fantastic opportunity but 

we have to approach it with a very 

strategic orientation, with our feet 

on the ground and to know what our 

comparative advantage is and what 

we’re able to do or cannot do. 

“We also have to listen to the government 

in what its interested in 

seeing us do. We hope that doing 

this, we can end up with a programme 

of work that is really transformational 

and brings a delta if I 

She also holds Samoa’s evolution 

in information technology in high 

regards. 

And she is adamant that sector can 

provide at least 1500 more jobs for 

Samoans. 

“Scenarios outlined in Pacific Possible 

suggest that by taking full 

advantage of I.C.T industry opportunities 

facilitated by world-class 

connectivity, Samoa could net between 

approximately 1,500 and 

4,000 jobs,” she said. 

“We don’t have to look far to see 

that – the I.C.T. revolution is happening 

right here, right now, and 

Samoa is certainly working hard to 

position itself as a leader in the sector. 

Let’s continue working together 

to bridge the digital divide and to 

make it possible in the Pacific.” 

And in launching the Tui-Samoa 

Cable eCenter in Savaii during her 

visit she noted that the new $57.4 

million submarine cable system, 

promises to deliver “affordable 

high-speed internet access to Samoa.” 

“I congratulate everyone involved 

for working so hard to get the project 

to this point – particularly the 

establishment of the Samoa Submarine 

Cable Corporation, which is 

up and running to deliver the cable 

this calendar year – an ambitious 

goal I am sure we can meet,” she 

said. 

“The Government of Samoa has 

also played a very proactive role in 

fostering relationships with regional 

neighbours in the delivery of the 

Tui-Samoa Cable – a testament to 

the cooperative spirit we see in the 

Pacific.” 

“We all know how vital internet and 

telecommunications connectivity is 

to development – enhancing everything 

from economic and business 

opportunities, healthcare, education, 

disaster resilience and response, 

and even agriculture.” 

The Tui Samoa Cable project aims 

to deliver low-cost broadband services 

to Samoa and strengthen the 

regulatory and legal environment 

for information and communications 

technology. 

It is expected to deliver Samoa 

a wide range of improvements to 

public services, including an e- 

health patient information system to 

improve patient care within the Samoan 

health system, as well as significant 

benefits to education, business, 

tourism, agriculture, as well 

as disaster planning and response. 

The cable is expected to reach land 

in Apia and Savai’i in early 2018.

Poutasi Development Trust stronger than ever 

PDT’s garden project can substitute 

local produce for these catering 

businesses, helping to reduce their 

costs at the same time as creating 

jobs and income for the villagers.” 

In 2011, paramount chief Tuatagaloa 

Joe Annandale led the village 

to set up a preschool and initiated 

a range of local scoping and capacity-building 

programmes, under the 

not-for-profit Poutasi Development 

Trust (PDT). Soon after, PDT built 

on the support of these projects to 

establish the Poutasi Gardens. 

Samoa’s growing tourist economy 

relies on the import of produce like 

fresh salad greens and herbs from 

New Zealand to cater for hotels and 

Now 70% of all Poutasi Gardens 

income is paid directly to people in 

the district for services performed or 

produce purchased; the remainder 

serves to acquire fertiliser, seeds, 

fuel and materials. 

Any profit made by PDT goes to 

support and improve the Poutasi 

community and its facilities, infrastructure 

and environment, leading 

the village towards self-sufficiency, 

and further away from its reliance on 

overseas aid and remittances. 

And Tuatagaloa is overly thankful 

that Poutasi has the full supporter 

of its partners from New Zealand. 

They include the Tindall Foundation 

and the New Zealand’s Volunteer 

Service Abroad (VSA) 

July 2012 witnessed the first sod 

turned on this new business initiative. 

Shortly after, New Zealand’s 

Volunteer Service Abroad (VSA) 

joined the endeavour and assigned 

specialist volunteers to assist with 

selected projects. 

“We saw an opportunity with VSA to 

work with Poutasi, a village that suffered 

tremendous loss in the tsunami,” 

recalled volunteers Glenn and 

Sharyn Cant. The Cants, who had 

been in Samoa when the tsunami 

hit, returned in November 2012 to 

coordinate development of horticulture, 

marketing and a new art centre. 

With Glenn and Sharyn’s guidance, 

the gardens have developed to employ 

five full-time workers, four of 

them women (including the team 

leader). Additional produce is purchased 

from more than ten families 

whom PDT encouraged to create 

their own gardens. 

“In addition The Tindall Foundation 

has supported PDT by running 

courses for Recognised Seasonal 

Employer workers who go to New 

Zealand to pick apples,” said PDT’s 

Interim CEO Bruce Russell. Other 

courses we have financed for the 

village include financial numeracy, 

start your own business, and fruit 

tree propagation for local farmers. 

The PDT’s targets include; 

The brainchild’s responsible for the birth of the 

Poutasi Development Trust 

• Providing employment opportunities; 

• Furthering education; 

• Developing skills; 

• Promoting and caring for the environment; 

• Fostering prosperity in Poutasi; 

• Promoting good health and improved 

nutrition; 

• Promoting a self-sustaining lifestyle 

(non-reliance on remittances); 

• Fostering the retention of traditional 

Samoan skills; 

Villagers working for the Poutasi Garden to earn a living 


Set up after the 2009 tsunami, the 

Poutasi Development Trust, (PDT) 

is going from strength to strength 

providing much needed employment 

as well as income for villagers. 

And the Poutasi Falealili is reaping 

the Trusts’ fruits of hard labour, 

through its range of projects already 

up and running. 

Close to 20 full time employees are 

on the Trust payroll funded entirely 

from their own hard labour with the 

sales of vegetables from the PDT’s 

Poutasi Botanic Garden, locally 

made handicrafts and ukuleles at 

the Poutasi Art Centre and the preschool 

and primary school operations. 

In 2011, Poutasi’s paramount chief 

Tuatagaloa Joe Annandale led the 

village to set up a preschool and 

initiated a range of local scoping 

and capacity-building programmes, 

under the not-for-profit Poutasi Development 

Trust (PDT). Soon after, 

PDT built on the support of these 

projects to establish the Poutasi 

Gardens. 

“Samoa’s growing tourist economy 

relies on the import of produce like 

fresh salad greens and herbs from 

New Zealand to cater for hotels 

and resorts,” said Tuatagaloa.” The 

resorts. The PDT’s garden project 

can substitute local produce for 

these catering businesses, helping 

to reduce their costs at the same 

time as creating jobs and income for 

the villagers. 

Income earned by the gardens, together 

with funding from the Civil 

Society Support Project and other 

grants, enables PDT to run the preschool 

and its other community projects. 

Among these are the art centre 

and café, and the latest project—a 

community library supported by 

Apia Rotary, which is receiving book 

donations from a wide range of donors.

Tuiletufuga 

Left hand drive vehicles will be allowed 

back into Samoa; Prime Minister 

Tuilaepa Lupesoliai Sailele 

Malielegaoi has told national Radio 

2AP during his live weekly ‘Meet the 

Prime Minister’ radio talk show. 

And the change is to comply with the 

World Trade Organisation mandate 

which Samoa is a member state 

since its induction into the global 

body in 2012. 

The road switch was adopted and 

implemented by government in 2009 

and after signing the WTO three 

years later, Prime Minister says that 

government has no choice by to reopen 

the import market for left-hand 

drive vehicles. 

“We have received a handful of 

requests from families and an individual 

wanting to import their left 

Cabinet OKs left hand drive imports 

hand drives,” elaborated Tuilaepa. 

“And to satisfy our WTO obligations, 

the left hand drives will be allowed 

back.” 

But there are strict conditions; the 

Prime Minister was quick to point 

out. 

“The left hand drives imports will be 

restricted to cars manufactured after 

2009 before April,” he explained. 

“That is the same policy that Cabinet 

has approved for right hand drives.” 

Secondly the government leader 

noted that regulations in place have 

given the Minister of Customs, sole 

discretion on reviewing and approving 

requests to import left hand 

drives. 

“Don’t bother thinking of requesting 

assistance from the Prime Minister,” 

said Tuilaepa. “Even I don’t have 

the legal muscle to approve, deny or 

even consider any requests. That 

will be strictly up to the Customs 

Minister with the help of his Chief 

Executive Officer.” 

The Prime Minister said that the 

third stipulation is that only individuals 

or families can request for the 

exemption and it is not designed for 

commercial purposes. 

For the greater good of country, church, families & Tafua 

Toetu Fuifatu from Tafua, Taga Savai’i 


Tuiletufuga 

Toetu Fuifatu from Tafua Taga 

Savaii has every reason to hold his 

head up high-proud to be from Tafua. 

He is one of the 30 plus young Samoa 

Recognised Seasonal Workers 

from his village who pooled together 

to contribute close to $200-thousand 

tala to finance the construction 

of the new EFKS church. 

The total cost of the project is 

$700-thousand tala. 

And for Toetu he says that it’s not 

how much he contributed from his 

salaries to the new church project 

while employed in New Zealand as 

a seasonal worker but the permanent 

recordings for life of his contribution 

in the EFKS Tafua Church 

history books. 

“Money was and will never be an 

issue. Paramount to me is that my 

family name, Fuifatu is in the official 

church records as a contributor to 

the church developments. And that 

is priceless,” said the 38-year old 

father of two. 

“E pala maa ae le pala tala,” he 

said in Samoan. “That is my thinking 

when it comes to helping our 

church. 

Church Rev. Niulala Kupa is the 

brainchild behind the thinking to tap 

into the New Zealand’s Seasonal 

Workers initiative as a funding 

source for the new church. And his 

initiative had paid off. 

“Aside from the new church, more 

than 90% of Tafua village are living 

in modernised brick houses. 

“Many have vehicles and almost 

every family are investing in cattle 

farming,” said Rev. Kupa who has 

served the Tafua EFKS Congregation 

for more than 30 years. 

“Ten years ago, before Tafua became 

part of the RSE movement, 

many families were struggling. 

“Today, they are well off,” continued 

Rev. Kupa. 

“The RSE workers have changed 

their mindsets through their exposure 

in New Zealand which has 

opened their eyes that family and 

church first is most important. 

“They are more aware on how to 

spend and invest their earnings and 

their attitude towards village unity 

and harmony has change for the 

betterment of Tafua. 

“And it’s all credit to the governments 

of New Zealand and Samoa 

and most importantly 

Mr Apple 

company our 

sole employer in 

Aoteroa. 

“Without RSE, 

without Mr Apple, 

and the Samoa 

and New 

Zealand Governments 

and 

most importantly 

without 

the endurance, 

patience and 

tolerance of the 

wives, children 

and the respective 

families of 

our RSE workers, 

Tafua would 

not be where it is today.” 

He echoes repeated public advices 

from Prime Minister Tuilaepa Lupesoliai 

Sailele Malielegaoi for Samoan 

RSE to safeguard the seasonal 

employment incentive at all costs. 

“Whatever you do while deployed in 

New Zealand, pray to our father for 

strength, guidance and not to lead 

you not into temptations. 

“With the Lord on your side, you 

EFKS Tafua’s Rev. Niulala Kupa 

can overcome temptations. Never 

forget that the future of your families, 

your children and above all 

the reputation of Samoa is in your 

hands,” preached Rev. Kupa adding 

that he is 110% with Prime Minister 

Tuilaepa to blacklist villagers 

whose workers are deported back 

to Samoa for violation conditions of 

their temporary employment. 

“The RSE scheme is bigger than 

one worker and one village. It is 

carries the hopes of thousands of 

Samoa families and its existence 

should never be comprised by the 

irresponsibility’s of a few hoodlums.” 

And Toetu 

agrees; 

“The power of 

prayers can do 

wonders. 

“With two children 

and a 

young wife back 

home, temptation 

is always 

knocking on 

your thoughts. 

“But prayers 

have always 

been my 

strength,” added 

Toetu whose 

spending a god 

four years of his 

life as a seasonal 

RSE worker which has given him 

a new two bedroom home, a new 

car and savings to support his family 

while he taking five for a couple 

of years to enjoy life with his young 

family. 

Ironically, 30 RSE workers from Tafua 

are back on the job, departing 

for New Zealand a couple of weeks 

ago, to continue the Tafua-Mr. Apple 

legacy.

Go to the sports tribunal, PM advises 

Nanai Taofiga Laveitiga Tuiletufuga 

Sports Associations with internal 

leadership problems 

should seek assistance from 

the Sports Tribunal, Prime 

Minister Tuilaepa Lupesoliai 

Sailele Malielegaoi has recommended. 

He was responding to media 

queries over the alleged split 

in leadership within the Samoa 

National Volleyball Association. 

Although assured by Education 

and Sports Minister Loau 

Solamalemalo Keneti Sio that 

the association has resolved 

its differences, Tuilaepa nonethess 

is urging sporting bodies 

facing similar dilemmas 

to seek help from the Sports 

Tribunal. 

He said that the Tribunal is 

a government initiative set 

up after years of dealing and 

trying to resolve the endless 

disputes within the respective 

sporting bodies. 

Tuilaepa said the Sports Tribunal 

has resolved many issues 

in the past relating to 

sporting bodies, such as Samoa 

National Olympic Committee, 

Soccer and even volleyball. 

And that sporting bodies 

should take this route. 

He pointed out that the government 

does not want to 

intervene when it comes to 

sports management. But from 

experience, its athletes that 

suffer the consequences if the 

leadership in their respective 

sports discipline is in chaos. 

As a result government took 

the initiative to create the 

Sports Tribunal by law and that 

is the only solution to resolve 

any internal matters within the 

country’s sports fraternity. 

“The Tribunal has resolved 

the in-house fighting between 

SASNOC leaders. It has dealt 

with the Soccer Association 

and even the volleyball leadership 

in the past,” he added. 

“And we have retired judges 

ready to serve on the Sports 

Tribunal if there are grievances 

within any sporting body,” 

he concluded. 

Prime Minister Tuilaepa Lupesoliai Saielele Malielegaoi 

awarded a silver medal in archery from the 

13 th Pacific Games hosted by Samoa in 2007. 

Celebrating RSE’s success in Falealili fashion 

MPMC’s Seasonal Employment Unit’s Funefeai Muelu Meatoga 

meets with Poutasi’s Tuatagaloa Joe Annandale. 

Nanai Taofiga Laveitiga Tuiletufuga 

The Falealili Recognised Seasonal 

Employees Program is celebrating 

their tenth anniversary in June. And 

the celebration also marks the success 

of the program in improving the 

livelihood of the families. 

It will see a first ever agricultural 

show to showcase Falealili’s spinoffs 

from the New Zealand RSE and 

above all to acknowledge the successful 

partnership with their New 

Zealand counterparts- in Falealili 

fashion. 

As the single largest ATM for Falealili 

which has injected an average 

of $2.3 million tala a picking season, 

from salary remittances directly for 

Falealili families, ”it is only fitting, 

that Falealili celebrates its blessings 

by honouring our loyal stakeholders 

and employers in New Zealand,” 

says the man responsible Poutasi 

Falealili’s paramount chief Tuatagaloa 

Joe Annandale. 

“Falealili’s RSE workers will display 

their achievements during and after 

their temporary employment in the 

program,” added Tuatagaloa. He 

added that local stakeholders that 

include the Seasonal Employment 

Unit, the local arm to the New Zealand 

counters will also be invited to 

be part of the show along with other 

stakeholders. 

“It’s basically a showcase. It will be a 

two day event and will coincide with 

the return of our 180 RSE workers,” 

adds a modest Tuatagaloa. 

There will be prizes which are donated 

by Mr. Apple and Mr. Appleseed. 

But on a rather serious note, the Falealili 

RSE Program will also be enforcing 

new strategies to ensure that 

everyone is on page, when it comes 

to the RSE account which has been 

without a doubt Falealili’s saviour for 

over a decade since it became part 

of the growing RSE family here and 

in Aoteroa. 

Elaborated Tuatagaloa; 

“Our program is now enforcing the 

three year period stand down policy. 

“We feel that three years in the program, 

is sufficient 

time for 

our RSE workers 

to show 

their reaps of 

hard labour in 

New Zealand 

in terms of new 

homes, cars, 

small business 

and even farming-small 

time. 

“And the RSE Committee is also doing 

its part by monitoring our workers 

when they return home to ensure 

that they do not squander their hard 

earned income. 

“It’s an effort to try and engage families 

as well,” says Tuatagaloa. 

“And we our workers don’t end with 

someone going to pick apples so 

that when they come back we monitor 

what they do with their money. 

“We believe it is our business to ensure 

that the employee who goes 

away does benefit and they are putting 

their money in good use. 

“It is also part of our selection process. 

“And if someone 

doesn’t spend 

their money 

wisely, irresponsible, 

reckless 

we take them off 

the list and put 

somebody else 

that shows responsibility 

and 

commitment.” 

The Falealili RSE program originally 

started at Poutasi in 2008 where only 

15 workers were picked. Today, the 

program has expanded to cover the 

entire Falealili County with 180 RSE

Na Fetagisi Ai Agelu 

E fai pe le fai? O le fesili lea. A fai, e 

iai tua o patatua. E ia lape e faapena 

ona tula’i mai pe’a vale ona tuulima 

le faatatau. E mafai ona ma’itaga ai 

le teine, ona uma lava lea o le olaga 

taumafai e pei ona miti mai ai. E ui i 

nisi o teine, e avea lea ma mafuaaga 

lelei, e toe atia’e ai le olaga ina ua 

iloa le sasi amata. Afai o le a fai, o le 

tele o tama, e sa’ili e pei o le tulimanu 

ile vaomaoa. O le naunauta’iga ma 

le faamoemoe, o le maua lea o le 

manu o loo tuli. O le taimi lava e 

maua ai ma fasi mate, ona see foi 

lea i le isi manu, ma faapena ai lava 

lea o le natura o le tulimanu. O le 

fasi ma faatama’ia, ma toe sa’ili foi 

lea o seisi manu mo le tuliga. Afai 

ae le faia, ona tula’i mai le a o le 

gafatia, o le inoino aliali, o le sese 

o le faamuamua, o le faatalitali mo 

le taimi sa’o pe o le tausia lava o le 

va fealoaloa’i. E ui lava i lea, e leai 

se afaina auā e le o faia, ma e leai 

se mea o tupu mai ai. Pau lava le 

pona ile lumana’i, o le pologa ai ma 

lefulefua ai, ona o le le faaaogaina. 

O le toatele o tagata e le ano iai 

ile faamoemoe lea, o le avea ma e 

mautoatasi ile olaga atoa, ma leai 

se fiafiaga e maua ile olaga, e ‘ese 

mai le galuega o loo faia i lea aso 

ma le aso. E ui la ile le faamalieina 

i leisi itu, ae o loo faaeaina i leisi 

itu ona e leai ni faafitauli o o latou 

olaga, ae ola noa e aunoa ma nisi e 

tautosoina i tua le aga’i ile lumana’i. 

O le eseesega, o le fiafia e maua ile 

faifanau ma le mafutaga faale’aiga, 

ma le nofo toatasi e leai se fanau, leai 

fo’i lau nisi e tautoaluaina le olaga. 

Ua aapa mai Moli ua fusi atu Tava. 

Ona fapena lea ona feofaofata’i alofa, 

ua sogi atu ma sogi mai, e amata i 

le alafau ma vaega uma o foliga, ae 

mulia’i ona oo i laugutu, ona malolo 

ai lea e pei ua toomaga iai, ma i se 

galuega sa faia faasolosolo. Ona 

lagona lea ua sui lagona, ma o le umi 

ona mau o la laugutu o le faapena 

foi lea ona sagolegole lima ile tago 

ane i lea mea ma lea me, o le mili atu 

ma mili mai, o le siaki ane ma siaki 

atu poo iai lea i le vaega lea vaega 

ile mea e tatau ona iai. E pei o le 

tama ma le teine a’oga ua atu lasi 

ona a’oa’oina ile vaega o le tino, ae 

o lea faatoa maua le avanoa e tago 

atu ai ma le lagona ile taimi muamua. 

O mea uma e galulue ile iloa ma le 

mautinoa, ile sini ma le faamoemoe 

e fetaui uma ma paleni e vaega e 

fetaui ia. O a vaega ma itutino o 

loo ‘ōpūina, o loo iai lava fo’i vaega 

lālā o le tino e fetaui iai, ma faapena 

ona paleni ma follasi ai le foafoaga. 

E muli mai nei oli, ao ni foli. O le 

poto masani ma o le natura lava o le 

tagata ola. O tamaiti ua maualuluga 

le a’oa’oina, ma, e le tau faasinoina 

poo fea e alu iai lea mea, a’o gafea e 

faaofiofi atu ia lea mea, ona faapena 

ai lava lea ona faaaoga lelei le 

mafaufau. Ua taumafai ia Tava e 

tula’i ‘ese. Ua lagona le maasiasi ona 

e ui o loo la’ei pea le ‘afa o lona tino, 

ma o loo faapena foi le afa o le tino 

o Moli, ae ina ua taia ile savili vaega 

o loo ua le lavalavā, ua maluluina ai 

ina ua fetaia’i le saviligia ile ili ma le 

susū o le afu, ona faato’a iloa ai lea, 

o loo le lavalavā ile vaega i lalo o o la 

tino. Ona matamuli lea ma maasiasi 

e pupula leisi i leisi. Ona faapea lea 

e sesē le mea ua fai. Ae leai, ua 

avea le faamalieina, ua mautinoa 

ai, e manaia tele le taunnuuga o le 

amioga lea, ma ose mea e tatau ona 

faifai pea. Ua autasi ai ia’ua uma, ae 

se’i tau te’a le gagase ma le māmā o 

tino, ona toe fai foi lea. 

O le vaega lea na gata ai le tatou tala, 

ma o le sosooga la lenei. E logo i tino 

matagi lelei. O le talitonuga lautele, 

o mea lelei uma e mai le lagi lea, a’o 

mea leaga uma e mai le lalolagi lea. 

Ae faapefea ona lelei le faalogona o 

lenei taaaloga ma le tausinioga ae o 

lea e fai faanana ile lalolagi. E tusa 

lava pe e le se taaaloga i faatino 

i nofoaga faitele, pe faatino ile 

taalaelae o se malae ae pati ma po iai 

tagata, ae ona o lona taunuuga ma le 

poloa’iga mai le amataga e mafua ai 

ona faatino, e tatau ai ona ‘aua le faia 

faanana i taimi paganoa, ma ‘aua ai 

le faatinoina i taimi ma vaega e malu 

mai le tilotilo atu o tagata lautele. E 

ui o lea ua amata ona faatinoina i 

tekonolosi fou le pu’eina o ata, ma 

faasalalau ma tufatufa faanana, ae 

tatau lava ona faatino faalaua’itele, 

ina ia ta’u atu ai le fe’au. Manatua 

foi le tala ia Atamu ma Eva ma le la 

taaaloga lea na fai i Etena. E faaupu 

mai fua o le apu na ‘ai e Eva ma avatu 

ia Atamu, e pepelo lava lava, Ona e 

sau le asiasiaga a le tamaloa e ana 

le faato’aga ua faaleleva atu Atamu 

ma Eva ua leai ni o la lavalava. Ona 

fesili lea o le Tamaloa, “Ua lua ‘aina 

le fua o le laau o le ola?” Ona tali 

lea o Atamu, “O le fafine lava na ia 

aumaia ia te a’u.” O lona uiga o le 

fafine na ia muamua ‘ai le fua o le 

laau o le ola, ona ia ave lea i lona 

toalua, ua ‘ai ai foi ma le tamaloa ile 

fua lava o le laau o le ola. Ua uma 

ona la aai i le fua o le laau o le ola, 

ona la iloa lea ua la le lavalava. Ona 

la iloa lea, ma ua maasiasi le isi i 

leisi, ona ua pupula o la mata ile 

matagofie ole taaaloga lea na faia o 

le tausasami lea ile fua o le laau o le 

ola. O le uiga o lenei mea, e mai lava 

ile amataga ile taimi na faato’a aai 

ulugalii ile fua o le laau o le ola, na ia 

lava le lagona lea o le maasiasi ma 

ua avea ai lava ma tu ma aga o lenei 

taaaloga, o le uma loa, poo le tini loa 

ole faamoemoe, ona maasiasi loa 

lea, ma tau le pupula leisi i leisi. Afai 

o lea, ae aisea la na ‘ina’inā ai ina ua 

maua, ae ole poloa’iga ia fanafanau 

ma uluulu ola. Tafēfē, ia se’i faaula 

la’ia. Ana se’i onosa’i lava ma 

faatalitali, atonu e ‘ese se fuafuaga 

na fuafuaina mo fafine. Atonu sa iai 

se fuafuaga a le Tamaloa, e le tau faia 

se ‘aiga laau o le ola ina ia fanafanau 

ai ma faauluuluolaina ai le lalolagi. 

Silasila i le poto fou lea ua iai nei, e 

mafai lava e le fafine one ma’itaga 

i lona toalua, ae o loo Amerika 

le tamaloa, ae nofo atule fafine i 

Samoa. Ua mafai ona faaaoga le tui 

e tui ai i totonu le valaau ole ola, ma 

faapena ona ma’itaga ai le fafine, e 

aunoa ma le tausasami ile laau o le 

ola e pei ona faia e Atamu ma Eva. 

Faauta to’i, o neisi u tui e fuafua ile 

tasi, ae emo ane le ata ua sau ua ta’i 

lua, tolu, fa, ma oo atu lava ile valu ile 

taimi e tasi. Silasila fou ile fanau mai 

o Iesu. O Maria ole taupou. Atonu 

ana le popole Eva, ma le naunau ile 

faaosoosoga, se manu e faapenei 

e pa’ia uma le fananau mai o le 

faauluuluolaina o l;e lalolagi. O le 

mea lava lea ua tupu nei, “O le fafine 

lava na ia aumai ia te a’u.” E ma ia 

Tava e tilotilo ia Moli. A’o Moli, ua 

faananau atu lona loto ia Tava, ona 

na mae’ae’a lelei ona osi e Tava le 

taulaga. O le mafuaaga lea, na tula’i 

ai Tava, ae o loo faapena ona tautau 

atu ai ia Moli, ma tauanau mai le 

tama, sina taimi ona la tula’i faatasi 

lea, poo sina taimi fo’i ona la aai lea 

pe feinu fo’i. O le taimi nei lava ia, o 

le manava ile matagofie o le taimi o 

loo la iai, ma e o taimi ma lagona nei, 

a mou atu, e le toe mafai lava ona toe 

oo mai. O nei lagona uma o loo iai, o 

Tava, e pei ua uma ona fai se amioga 

sese, ma e o loo iai lava se manatu 

faatuutuu o loo musumusuina o ia. 

E ese la ma le teine o Moli. E pei 

Moli, ua matuu atu se avega mamafa 

sa faapena ona ia tau’aveina mai ile 

tele o tausaga. Atonu o le lagona 

lava lea faateine, ile amata mai ona 

ia fesoosoota’i i soo se vaega o lona 

tino, ma iloa ai ma mautinoa lagona 

ma faalogona o lea vaega ma lea 

vaega. E amata mai ai foi i lea taimi 

ona sauni e iai se aso ma le ituaso 

e matala uma ai nei noataga o loo 

feteena’i i totonu o lona tino. E pei 

ose pomu ua saunia lelei ma tuu 

i totonu, ma faapena ona tata ma 

faitau le taimi se’ia oo ile fuainumera 

e pasae ai ma taapeape mea uma. 

O le lagona lea o loo nofo nei ma 

Moli. E saofa’i lava ma tau atutilo 

atu poo fea ua oo iai Tava, ae pe 

faaaoga foi le mafaufau o Tava e toe 

fo’i ma se ipu vai poo soo se mea 

inu se’i faasusū ai le matutū ma le 

galala o ona fofoga, ua fāoa uma 

le fetafea’i o punavai i totonu o lea 

vaega o lona tino ile taimi na faatino 

ai le taaaloga lea na se’i faato’a 

mavae atu. E moni e le ose taaaloga 

e taufetuli pe tele se gaoioiga e fai, 

ae matua fāoa uma le malosi lilo ae 

leai lava ona soona gaoiā. Ae peita’i 

ile taimi e faai’uina ai, e lagona lava 

e pei e lima maila lea na momo’e ai. 

Ona mapu ane lava lea ile vaega sa 

faatino ai le taaaloga ma faapena 

ona faasolosolo mafaufau pe o le a 

tua i ni a lenei tuinanau sa faatino. E 

le afaina tele lava ile vaega o tama, 

ona e leai so latou aafiaga faaletino 

e tula’i mai, ae o le vaega lea e 

pagā ai le taaaloga, a vale sese ona 

fuafuaina ma tula’i mai pefea o tua o 

patatua o le taaaloga lea, ona matua 

popole lava lea o le mafaufau. O 

le vaega o tama, a mavae lea, ona 

toe mafaufau foi lea i leisi taaaloga 

e su’e mai, ma faapena ai lava lea 

ona fai e pei o le galiina o le tolo uli, 

e ati ma lamu ma mimiti le suamalie, 

ona toe luai lea i fafo ae toe gali leisi 

mama fou, ma faapena lava lea ona 

faasolosolo le faiga lea o le ati ma 

mimiti le suamalie, ma toe luai i fafo. 

Ua uma ona foa’i le alofa o Moli ia 

Tava. O le talia ma le le talia, o le 

faitalia lea o le tama. O nisi, ose 

vaega mamafa lea o le olaga, ona 

e manatu mamafa ile foa’i lea, ae o 

le toatele lava, e na ona faamau ile 

api ma tusi ai ni nai laina e faailoa 

ai le mea na tupu, ina ia toe liliu iai e 

faitau ma faamanatu mai le talaaga 

o le olaga ma mauga sa ā’ea, ma 

taumafaiga na le faamanuiaina. 

O le tele o taimi, ua ta’utino mai ai 

ma le mafuaaga o le to’ilalo. O nei 

mea uma, o le natura lea o le tama 

faatautala. E laki lava la le teine e 

foa’i lona mamalu, ae talia lelei ma 

le agaga faafetai, ma faapena ona 

teufatu mo le lumana’i. Na ataata 

lemu ia Moli, ina ua toe fo’i mai ia 

Tava ma le faguinu lapo’a mai le pusa 

‘aisa, ma ipu e lua, ona ligi lea o a la 

ipu, ma tuu atu e Tava ia Moli lana 

ipu inu ua taumasuasua lava, ona 

faapea lea o Tava, “Mo le lumana’i 

ma ona faafitauli.” E taumafai atu ia 

Tava e faafetaui a la ipu e pei ona 

faia ile tu ma le aganuu a papalagi 

pe a faamanuia ise laasaga fou, ae 

taofi e Moli. “Aua tate faamanuia 

ile lumana’i. E mamao lava le ta 

faigamalaga. Ta faamanuia ile taimi 

lenei, ma mea ua tutupu. “Mo le alofa 

e moni ma faamaoni.” Na musu ia 

Tava e fai se finauga, ma e musu 

foi ina ne’i faapea ia Moli e manatu 

faatauvaa ile mea lea na tupu, na 

mafua ai ona ia faafetoa’i atu lana 

ipu ile ipu a Moli ma faapea atu, “Mo 

le alofa e moni ma faamaoni.” Ona 

iloa ai lea e Tava, e le moni lona alofa 

ia Moli. E alofa ia Moli, ae le o le 

alofa lea na mafua ai ona faataunuu 

ma talia le foa’i. O le alofa o loo ia 

lagonaina, o le alofa e puipui ile 

mafutaga, ma faapelepele e pei ose 

tiute, ae leai se tu’inanau faaletino. 

Ona ia iloa lea, ua sese le la mea ua 

fai.

Luka e 14 fuaiupu e 10, ma

Ona o le fuaiupu lea e 10 o

ona e amata lea ile pito i lalo, 

ina ia valaaulia mai ai, ‘oe e

Finau lava Mose ma lana uo. 

Fai mai Mose, e tasi lava le

uiga, o le tu lua, o le faailoga 

sa taumafai ae leai sona

Auro, ae o le au e tulaga lua, 

e ave iai le siliva. O lona uiga 

e te le malo ise pine siliva, 

ma e faapena foi ma le pine 

apamemea. E te le malo ise

le pine ete manumalo ai, o le 

pine Auro. E le faapea la e iai 

seisi e toe manumalo foi ile 

pine siliva, pe toe manumalo

a tutusa fo’i, e toe su’e lava

poo se pine apa memea, o

o loo iai le pine auro, o le

Mimita mai le afafine o Mose 

ma lana uo tama e feiloa’i ile 

latou aiga. Fai atu le toea’ina 

poo le a le galuega a le tama

lona afafine, e saili se tama e 

maua se galuega lelei, ae tia’i

Fai mai Mose ua fiu lava 

si ona atalii e iai mana’oga

ma paaga ua uma ona resitala 

e faataga ona tauva. E uma

faapitoa le mea lea na iloa e 

Ufi ile pa povi.” 

Fai Mose, ua toe faamatala

“Vaai ‘oe atalii, e mafai lava 

ona ou alu e faatau mai mai ni

IN THE SUPREME COURT OF SAMOA HELD AT APIA 

IN THE MATTER: 

of the Lands and Survey and Environment 

Act 1989 the Public Bodies (Performance 

and Accountability) Act 2001 

BETWEEN: 

NANAI LIU TOKUMA of Sogi and Wellington; 

AIGA TOKUMA of Sogi; TALA- 

FULU TOKUMA of Sogi; TALALUPE 

TOKUMA-SANELE; TAUALOFA TOKU- 

MA-TIMO & CIZZY TOKUMA of Sogi 

APPLICANTS 

AND: 

THE SAMOA LAND CORPORATION a 

duly iircorporzlted company Operating 

in Samoa FIRST RESPONDENT 

AND: 

MINISTRY OF PUBLIC ENTERPRISES 

a duly incorporated company operating 

in Samoa SECOND RESPONDENT 

AND: 

ATTORNEY-GENERAL on behalf of 

the Land Board established under the 

provisions of the Lands and Survey and 

Environment Act 1989 and the Ministry 

of Public Enterprises established under 

the Public Bodies (Performance and Accountability) 

Act 2001 THIRD RESPON- 

DENT 

OBJECTION TO RESPONDENTS’ NO- 

TICES OF MOTION TO STRIKE OUT 

THE APPLICANTS object to the Notice 

of Motion To Strike Out by all the Respondents 

UPON THE GROUNDS AS 

FOLLOWS: 

RULE 70 OF THE SUPREME COURT 

(CIVIL PROCEDURE) RULES I980 

1. The respondents’ notice based on 

rule 70 is opposed because the Statement 

of Claim by the applicants clearly 

specify and or disclose the following 

causes of action including: 

1.1. An action based on the law of promissory 

estoppel arising from where one 

party has by words or conduct made to 

the other a clear and unequivocal promise 

or assurance intended to affect the 

relations between them and to be acted 

on accordingly. In this regard, once the 

other party has taken the promissory 

at his or her word and acted on it, the 

promissory is bound by the promise 

or assurance (Liuvae v Samoa Credit 

Union League [1997] WSSC 13; Legione 

v Hately [1983] HCA 11; Grundt 

v Grant Boulder Pty Gold Mines Ltd 

[1937] HCA 58) 

1.2. Applying this principle of promissory 

estoppel to the facts in this case, the 

promise and assurance by government 

(promissory) representatives of Samoa 

in the 1920s and 1962 to give the Tokuma 

family the lands at Sogi to occupy 

and to own was acted upon accordingly 

by Mr Turore Tokuma and his family 

1.3. The representatives of the Samoa 

government who made such promise 

and assurance were the late Commissioner 

of Crown Estates of Samoa, and 

the Public Trustee of Samoa and also 

a Member of the Legislative Council of 

Samoa, the Rt Hon Percival Ernest Patrick 

in 1920 and the first Prime Minister 

of Samoa, the late Mataafa Faumuina 

Mulinu’u II in 1962. 

1.4. The assurance and encouragement 

by the first Prime Minister of Samoa to 

allow the Tokuma family continuing occupying 

the lands at Sogi is confirmed 

by Mr Nanai Liu Tokuma’s affidavit in 

paragraph 16. Mr Nanai Liu Tokuma is 

the son of the late Turore Tokuma. 

1.5. According to His Honour Sapolu the 

Chief Justice of Samoa, in Meredith v 

Pa’u [1994] WSSC 7, the estoppel by 

encouragement or by acquiescence 

can give rise to a cause of action. Occupation 

by the Tokuma family of lands 

at Sogi is therefore an act of encouragement 

and acquiescence by the government 

of Samoa based on proprietary 

estoppel. 

1.6. His Honour further stated that it is 

clear that even if the defendant’s counter-claim 

is phrased in the terminology 

of estoppel by encouragement or estoppel 

by acquiescence, such a cause of 

action will still be maintainable in law. 

2. An action based on unjust enrichment 

where the reclaimed work by the 

Applicants on the swampy area at Sogi 

which is now occupying by agents of the 

first respondent. 

FRIVOLOUS, VEXATIOUS & ABUSE 

OF PROCESS 

3. The respondents’ assertion that the 

exparte motion by the applications 

is frivolous, vexatious and abuse of 

process is opposed on the following 

grounds. 

3.1. That the causes of action pleaded 

by the applicants in their Statement of 

Claim are not frivolous because they 

are meritorious and substantive capable 

of reasoned argument. 

3.2. That the causes of action by the applicants 

are not vexatious because they 

are supported by bona fides with foundation 

and substance. The actions are 

meritorious capable of being successful. 

They cannot be regarded as groundless 

and oppressive. 

3.3. That the doctrine of abuse of process 

requires the Court to decide 

whether there is abuse sufficiently serious 

to prevent the offending litigant from 

proceeding (Enosa v Samoa Observer 

Co Ltd [2005] WSSC 3) 

MISJOINDER 

4. The claim by the Respondents under 

rule 35 of the Supreme Court (Civil Procedure) 

Rules 1980 that the second and 

third respondents are misjoinders is opposed 

because: 

4.1. The inclusion of the 2nd & 3rd Respondents 

in these proceedings would 

not be embarrassing and or inexpedient 

due to their statutory responsibilities under 

sections 4 and 2 of the Public Bodies 

(Performance and Accountability) 

Act 2001. 

4.2. The legal standing of the Respondents 

in these proceedings is confirmed 

by sections 2 & 4 of the 2001 Act. If the 

1st Respondent is categorised as a public 

trading body under section 2 of the 

Act, then section 4 of the Act obliges the 

2nd Respondent to ensure that the 1st 

Respondent is complied with its statutory 

responsibilities under the 2001 Act. 

4.3. Whether an organisation is called 

a state-owned enterprise or otherwise 

under any other Act, the common link 

among the Respondents in these proceedings 

relates to their regulatory roles 

and responsibilities under the Public Finance 

Management Act 2001. 

4.4. Therefore, applying these principles 

to the plaintiffs’ motion, the 1st 

Respondent has vested interest in contributing 

to the social, cultural, economic 

and commercial development of Samoa 

which interlinks with the role of the 3rd 

respondent in providing public funding 

and controlling of the board of directors 

who make decisions for the development 

and delivery of social, cultural, 

economic and commercial services to 

Samoa. 

4.5. However, the 2nd Respondent fits 

into this paradigm because of its statutory 

responsibilities as a public trading 

body requiring that any developments 

intended to be performed by the 1st Respondent 

must be such to optimise the 

returns on investment of public funds by 

the government. 

4.6. So the legal justification of the Respondents 

in these proceedings is profoundly 

strong making it difficult to regard 

them as misjoinders as one cannot 

be isolated from the other in terms of 

their statutory responsibilities. 

4.7. It is therefore a misconception for 

the 3rd Respondent to say that the 2nd 

Respondent is irrelevant because its 

statutory responsibilities are limited only 

to monitoring and assessment of performance 

of State Owned Enterprises. 

4.8. In other words, the statutory requirements 

regarding the 1st, 2nd & 3rd 

Respondents make them entitled to be 

deemed properly constituted as joinders 

in these proceedings. 

FAILURE TO PARTICULARISE 

PLEADINGS 

5. The claim by the Respondents that 

the Applicants have failed to provide 

particulars in their pleadings against the 

3rd Respondent is opposed because: 

5.1. The Applicants in their Statement 

of Claim did indicate sufficient 

particulars to move the court for orders 

to estopp the government through the 

3rd Respondent from relocating the 

Plaintiffs from their lands at Sogi. It also 

claims for the agents of the government 

to be estopped from undertaking surveying 

and evaluation works of the Sogi 

lands occupying by the Plaintiffs. 

5.2. The Applicants in their Statement 

of Claim illustrated in paragraphs 

27 to 28 the way in which the effects can 

be produced by virtue of the relocation 

plan if implemented as intended by the 

government. 

5.3. For example, by illustrating how 

the government (represented by the 3rd 

Respondent in these proceedings) may 

breach a proper purpose, paragraphs 

27 & 28 of the Statement of Claim explain 

as follows: 

5.3.1. If government through the second 

and third respondent aims to relocate 

the Sogi residents to produce effect A, 

but somehow the purpose for which the 

power was conferred by the Taking of 

the Lands Act suggests that effect B is 

to be produced, then it may be inferred 

that there was an improper purpose if 

the purpose was to produce effect C. 

5.3.2. The government through the 

third respondent must then be clear as 

to its purpose and what it wants to produce 

as effect A according to its power 

conferred by the Taking of the Lands 

Act. 

5.3.3. However, the government has 

remained absurd and ambiguous as 

to its purpose and subsequently this 

may lead to effect B being produced. If 

neither effect A or Q is to be produced 

and subsequently led to effect C being 

produced, then this may infer to be improper 

purpose. 

SECTION 12 OF THE GOVERNMENT 

PROEEDINGS ACT I964 

6. The Appellants oppose the Respondents’ 

claim that orders sought by the 

Applicants in paragraphs (4). (5) and 

(6) in their Statement of Claim are not 

available under section 12 Of the Government 

Proceedings Act I964. Opposition 

to the respondents’ claim is based 

on the following: 

6.1. Section 12 (:1) of the Act allows the 

Court to make an order declaratory of 

the rights of the parties to a proceeding. 

Paragraph (h) of section 12 further 

provides for the Court to make an order 

declaring that a person is entitled to the 

land or property or to the possession 

thereof. 

6.2. Furthermore, an order can be made 

by the Court against an officer of the 

government if the order is not a relief 

against the government which could 

not have been obtained in proceedings 

against the government. 

6.3. In other words, by virtue of the 

Court declaring plaintiffs’ possessory 

entitlement to their lands at Sogi, interference 

by agents of the 1st, 2nd and 

3rd Respondents can be estopped by 

the Court so plaintiffs can privately enjoy 

their lands. 

DEFECTIVE CLAIM FOR DECLARA- 

TORY ORDERS 

7. The Applicants oppose the claim by 

the Respondents for a strike out because 

the declaratory orders sought by 

the Applicants are detective by relying 

on the Land and Survey and Environment 

Act 1989 and the Public Bodies 

(Performance and Accountability) Act 

2001 and not the Declaratory Judgment 

Act 1988. Opposition to claim is based 

on the following: 

7.1. The inclusion of the Land and Survey 

and Environment Act I989 and the 

Public Bodies (Performance and Accountability) 

Act 2001 in the intituled 

page of the Statement of Claim was 

done to provide the legal standing 

for the 1st and 2”“ Respondents to be 

joined as parties to these proceedings. 

7.2. However, the motion by the Applicants 

is clear moving the Supreme 

Court for o declaring occupation olithe 

Sogi lands, inter alia, by the Applicants 

is lawful. 7.3. ln other words, in any 

event, if this honourable Court declares 

the motion to be detective because 

ol’thc wrong Act referred to in the lntituled 

page ofthe Stateir ol’(_Tlaim_ then 

the Court has the discretion to consider 

ifdelect olithis sort can bl deemed fatal 

and improper to constitute a strike out or 

an amendment to the title required. 7.4. 

I lowcver, in section 3 otthc Declaratory 

Judgment Act I988, it says that “No act 

or proceeding, in the Supreme Court 

shall be open to objection on the ground 

that mere declaratoryjudgment or order 

is sought thereby, and the Court 

may make binding declarations otright, 

whether a consequential relicfis or could 

be claime not.“ I .l MlTA”|’l()N ACT 1975 

8. The claim by the Respondents under 

section 2l(l) and 21(2) of the above Act 

is oppo by the Applicants because:

Hurricanes will bring another level of 

intensity, warns Chiefs coach Dave Rennie 

against the Highlanders and the Blues. 

“We’ve got some good sevens, haven’t 

we?” Rennie said. 

“I know there were question marks 

over why we started Boshier last week 

and I think everyone got to see why. 

“I thought he was fantastic, but the 

likelihood is that we’ll start Sam [Cane] 

and one of those guys [Karpik or Boshier] 

will back up.” 

Rennie admitted Cane could play 

some time as a No 8, where Michael 

Leitch played on his return against the 

Blues, as he manages his back rowers 

throughout the year. 

“He played quite a lot at eight last year, 

finishing games off,” he said of Cane. 

“And he’s got a really good skill set 

and he understands the importance of 

the job in supporting the No 7.” 

The Chiefs name their team on 

Wednesday afternoon as they prepare 

to host the Hurricanes in Hamilton for 

the first time since 2014. 

Source : www.stuff.co.nz 

Dave Rennie believes the Hurricanes 

will raise the intensity from what the 

Chiefs have encountered in backto-back 

New Zealand derby wins in 

rounds one and two. 

After beating the Highlanders (24-15) 

and the Blues (41-26), the Hurricanes 

blow into Hamilton on Friday night for 

another blockbuster. 

Both sides have maximum points but 

by very different means, as the Hurricanes 

thumped the sorry Sunwolves 

83-17 in Tokyo and then rolled the 

Rebels 71-6 in Wellington on Saturday. 

Hosting the Super Rugby champions 

means the Chiefs are preparing for 

their third successive all-Kiwi clash 

that Rennie says they’ll have to step 

up for again, after looking back to their 

best against the Blues. 

“We’ve played two really good sides 

but we believe the Hurricanes bring 

another level of intensity and firepower, 

so it’s a big challenge,” the Chiefs 

coach said on Monday. 

“They’ll have variations on what 

they’re doing, but you get an idea of 

what they’ll bring and we’ll also focus 

on what we need to do.” 

The Chiefs are welcoming back cocaptain 

Sam Cane, who Rennie said 

was likely to start after recovering from 

an ankle injury. 

And apart from bumps and bruises, 

the Chiefs should have the same pool 

of players to choose from. 

The Hurricanes ended the Chiefs’ 

hopes of glory last season with a 25-9 

semi-final victory on their way to a 

maiden title. 

Their defence has been sound up to 

now, after scoring 24 tries in putting 

the Sunwolves and the Rebels to the 

sword. Neither were good enough to 

expose any weaknesses. 

But the Chiefs did find the formula to 

win in Wellington last season (28-27 in 

April) and Rennie said the Hurricanes 

haven’t changed much from last year. 

“They’ll be confident because they’ve 

got a lot of structure on the park, and 

it’s going to be our job to test them with 

and without the ball,” he added. 

“They were the best side in the competition 

last year and they’ve got off to 

a flyer. 

“They do a good job defensively. They 

get in your face and have scored a lot 

of points from their rushed defence, as 

well as their ability to build phases and 

so on. They’ve got so much firepower.” 

What loose forwards to play is Rennie’s 

biggest selection headache ahead of 

Cane’s return, with both Mitch Karpik 

and Lachlan Boshier excelling in their 

respective starts at openside flanker

David Haye undergoes Achilles surgery, 

Tony Bellew eyes Kiwi champ Joseph Parker 

DAVID Haye has undergone surgery on the Achilles tendon he ruptured during Saturday’s heavyweight defeat by fellow 

Briton Tony Bellew, his representatives have announced. 

Haye, 36, sustained the injury after 

slipping in the sixth round and fell to 

a surprise defeat in the 11th round 

when his corner threw the towel in 

after Bellew knocked him through the 

ropes. 

“David underwent surgery to his 

right Achilles this afternoon, after 

completely rupturing the tendon 

during Saturday night’s fight with 

Tony Bellew,” read a statement from 

Haye’s representatives released late 

on Sunday. 

“David would like to thank everyone 

for their many messages of support, 

as well as the staff at the hospital.” 

WBC cruiserweight champion Bellew, 

34, has revealed he broke his hand 

early in the fight. 

Bellew, who appeared in the 2015 

‘Rocky’ franchise film ‘Creed’, has revealed 

he is considering retirement, 

but says a big-money fight will be difficult 

to turn down. 

“I don’t know how many times more I 

can put my body and family through 

this,” Bellew told BBC Radio 5 Live. 

Asked whether he might retire, he 

replied: “It’s an option. It’s something 

I’m thinking about.” 

Bellew’s promoter Eddie Hearn said 

on Sunday that American WBC 

heavyweight champion Deontay 

Wilder and WBO champion Joseph 

Parker of New Zealand were potential 

future opponents for the Liverpudlian. 

“I have a lot of options,” Bellew said. 

“I don’t know what’s going to happen, 

but it will have to be something special.”

Wing Vince Aso 

making every post 

a winner at the 

Hurricanes 

Cory Jane is back breathing down 

Vince Aso’s neck. 

If there’s been a pleasant surprise 

about the Hurricanes’ start to the 

Super Rugby season, it’s the form 

of Aso on the right wing. 

The 22-year-old’s ability to cover 

midfield and wing appeared as if 

it might make him an ideal bench 

candidate this year. But when Jane 

went down injured the day before 

the season-opener against the 

Sunwolves in Tokyo, Aso was elevated 

to the starting side. 

Aso scored two tries in that game, 

then a further brace in Saturday’s 

thrashing of the Rebels at Westpac 

Stadium. 

It wasn’t like he was just some 

bloke standing on the end of a 

chain not doing much, either. Aso’s 

played well and taken his tries very 

well too, thanks to a mixture of 

pace, strength and evasive skills. 

You might even say he’d made the 

No.14 jumper his own, if it weren’t 

for the fact Jane’s in contention 

to play Friday’s game against the 

Chiefs in Hamilton. 

Jane’s known for his chat, but Aso 

indicated that he hadn’t been inundated 

with advice from the former 

incumbent. 

“Not much. He just gives me a yarn 

or two and just says I’m doing a 

good job,” Aso said. 

“I just say ‘oh sweet, is there anything 

I could do?’ And [Jane says] 

‘nah, you’re doing all good’. He 

helps me out a bit if I’m not doing 

the right thing.” 

Aso reckoned the last time he 

played wing was in the Chris Boydcoached 

New Zealand under-20 

side. Boyd, now Hurricanes head 

coach, is a self-confessed admirer 

of Aso’s, but will have a decision to 

make now Jane’s over his neck injury. 

Jane’s talk and defensive ability 

could be a real asset against the 

Chiefs, who are likely to have the 

elusive James Lowe lurking on that 

wing. 

Beyond Jane, loosehead prop Loni 

Uhila is the other player back in 

the selection mix this week. He 

tweaked a calf at the Brisbane 

Global Tens and probably would’ve 

started the last two games otherwise. 

Scans of No.8 Blade Thomson’s 

dislocated shoulder are still being 

assessed, apparently, so there’s 

no word on whether he’ll be back 

shortly or face season-ending surgery.

Warriors wing Ken Maumalo ready for 

Cooper Cronk's bombs 

Warriors winger Ken Maumalo says 

he’s preparing for an aerial assault 

from Cooper Cronk in Friday’s game 

against the Storm in Auckland. 

Maumalo has retained his place on 

the left wing for the Warriors’ second 

game of the season, keeping 

out Kiwi Manu Vatuvei and says he 

knows that the 2016 Dally M Medal 

winner will be coming after him at Mt 

Smart Stadium. 

“I’m preparing for that,” Maumalo 

said. 

“I know a lot of traffic is going to 

come my way with the high balls, because 

he’s the main kicker, so I’ve 

got to watch out.” 

The left edge defence did a good job 

against the Knights last weekend, 

not letting in any tries, but the Storm 

are expected to be a tougher challenge. 

“We’ve still got heaps to work on,” 

Maumalo said. 

“Solomone and I were working hard 

on it over the preseason and it’s only 

going to get better. 

“We know that this weekend the 

Storm will like to attack with Cooper 

Cronk, so they’ll come down our 

left side and we’ll need to be on our 

toes.” 

It says something of 

the high regard Warriors 

coach Stephen 

Kearney holds for 

Maumalo that he’s 

been selected ahead 

of Vatuvei. 

Kearney said the 

reason why Vatuvei 

played in the reserve 

grade NSW Cup last 

weekend was because 

he didn’t play 

in the trial games. But 

for Friday’s match, he 

wanted to stick with 

Maumalo and Tuimoala 

Lolohea on the other 

wing, because he was 

largely happy with how 

they played. 

“It’s good to know that the coach has 

got faith in me to play again,” Maumalo 

said. 

“So for me it’s about giving back to 

him and trying to perform well. Limit 

my errors and just doing my job really.” 

Maumalo has played 19 games for 

the Warriors since making his NRL 

debut in 2015. He has spent time 

bouncing up and down between the 

NRL and reserve grade team during 

that time, but feels at the age of 22, 

he’s ready to make his mark in first 

grade footy. 

“It didn’t get me down, it made me 

hungrier,” he said of the times he 

dropped to the NSW Cup team. 

“When I went down last year I wanted 

to play better and that made me 

mentally stronger. Going back down 

ended up being a massive confidence 

booster for me.” 

“This is my third year now and I’ve 

been in and out, this year I want to 

establish myself as a full NRL player. 

That’s my goal and I’m working hard 

towards it.”

Tim Simona to face further charges from NRL 

The NRL is investigating Tim Simona’s 

dealing with a charity and 

whether he failed to forward it money 

raised from auction items. 

The 26-year-old is already facing a 

possible life ban over alleged gambling 

offences and has been stood 

down indefinitely. 

The Wests Tigers centre this week 

faced the NRL integrity unit to respond 

to the charges after being 

handed a notice to cancel his registration. 

During his interview he was also 

questioned about his dealings with a 

charity. An NRL spokesman said he 

was questioned about several social 

media posts relating to jerseys 

he was putting up for auction for the 

charity. 

He is facing scrutiny over whether 

the money was delivered to the 

charity. The NRL integrity unit has’t 

handed down its verdict and Simona 

is facing the prospect of being 

rubbed out of the game indefinitely. 

He has reportedly been accused 

of placing small bets on opposition 

players. 

NRL chief executive Todd Greenberg 

has maintained the game must 

take a strong stance on betting violations 

and match fixing. 

Channel Nine revealed that the NRL 

has asked Simona for details on the 

relationship between himself and 

the charity and want some transperancy 

on the trail of funds. 

“The spotlight will be turned onto 

Tim Simona’s relationship with at 

least one charity,” Weidler revealed 

on Nine News. 

“Simona has been auctioning off 

items such as jumpers and boots 

with a view to raising money. But he 

is now being grilled by the NRL for 

his activities. 

“More specifically about where the 

money raised from the items is going.” 

It’s understood the NRL has grave 

concerns whether all the money has 

made its way to the charity. 

Nine has sought comment from 

each charity, but those attempts 

were not returned. 

It’s believed the latest details will 

further strengthen the NRL’s case 

against Simona and Weilder revealed 

he is expected to receive an 

‘indefinite’ ban from the game.

speculation, Joseph Parker has a 

date and venue for his first WBO 

world title defence. 

Nothing is ever simple in the world 

of boxing but Auckland’s Vector Arena, 

the same venue Parker claimed 

the title last December against Andy 

Ruiz, will host the Kiwi heavyweight 

and Manchester’s Hughie Fury on 

May 6. 

It’s been anything but smooth sailing 

just to get to this point, and the visitors 

aren’t out of the storm yet. 

From a convoluted purse bid, which 

will see Parker walk away with $1.8 

million (US) and Fury $1.2m (US), to 

doping allegations swirling around 

the unbeaten Briton and New Zealand 

immigration concerns facing his 

convicted father and trainer Peter, 

hold ups have been at every turn. 

Parker’s promoters, Duco Events, 

presented a letter from the British 

Boxing Board of Control on Wednesday 

stating Fury would not face a 

hearing for an alleged failed test for 

banned substance nandrolone in 

2015 before the Parker fight. 

Despite suggestions of a mid-April 

solution, almost two years after Fury’s 

alleged positive test it remains 

unclear when, or if, the hearing 

which also implicates his cousin, former 

champion Tyson Fury, will ever 

take place. 

“It’s dealing with allegations we know 

little about and it’s further down the 

track which means we can promote 

this fight unencumbered,” Duco promoter 

David Higgins said. “These 

are allegations that float around not 

just boxing but many sports. Sometimes 

they’re proven; sometimes 

they’re not. That’ll be dealt with 

in the future. Our job is to stage a 

world title defence and the result will 

stand.” 

Having originally penciled in the 

mandatory Fury fight for early April, 

Parker’s camp are relieved the 

event is now set in stone. While a 

cloud hangs over whether Fury was 

clean in his 20 previous pro fights, 

this time around he will have to be. 

The contract for the fight signed by 

Parker and Fury submits to WADA 

testing,” Higgins said. “Hughie 

is coming. His purse is massive. 

It’s more than Deontay Wilder got 

[$900,000 US] for his recent [WBC] 

title fight. It will be the biggest payday 

of his career by a country mile, 

and a shot at the WBO heavyweight 

title so we’re on.” 

Distractions for the Fury 

camp will be on-going. Peter 

has engaged lawyers as 

he attempts to gain a special 

exemption and character 

waiver to gain entry to New 

Zealand due to an extensive 

criminal history that includes 

10 years behind bars for possession 

and intent to supply 

amphetamine. 

“Who is in his corner is not our problem. 

I had a look at it and they’re 

from decades ago and there was 

nothing in my view that was heinous. 

Yeah there were some criminal convictions 

for sure but since then if you 

look at his work he’s devoted himself 

to training heavyweight champion 

boxers. I’m relaxed about it.” 

Higgins said Duco were essentially 

told not to bother applying for Auckland 

council support but were awaiting 

feedback on a submission for 

government funding. The Samoan 

government may also be involved 

again. Approaches from three major 

UK broadcasters - ITV, British Telecom 

and Sky Sport UK - have already 

landed, while Top Rank’s Bob 

Arum will sell the US rights. 

“We are in discussions. We don’t 

know where that is going. It would 

be great to get them [NZ government] 

on board because it’s such 

a platform. Most major sports from 

rugby to cricket to rowing have had 

some support at some level. I don’t 

think boxing has. We’re not counting 

our chickens and I don’t want to preempt 

any process so we’ll see what 

happens.” 

Should Parker get past Fury as most 

expect, his immediate future is likely 

to be in the buoyant UK market. If 

successful in May, Higgins indicated 

Parker would target the winner 

of Anthony Joshua and Wladimir 

Klitschko, with Wilder and Tony 

Bellew, who upset David Haye last 

week, also options. 

“Some people say we’re like the boy 

who cried wolf with it being the last 

fight in New Zealand. Well, it might 

be for a while. After this, if Joe beats 

Fury, he might suddenly be fighting 

Anthony Joshua at Wembley.”
