Kulufeinga ‘Ānisi Bloomfield has stood down as CEO of Ministry of Customs and Revenue setting the stage to chase a seat in parliament in November’s snap election.

Bloomfield spoke in front of his senior officials and staff for the last time on Tuesday during a farewell party announcing he would stand as a candidate for Vava’u 15.

“It is not easy it is a tough call but I have to take it”, he said.

He told Kaniva News he has something significant for his constituency as well as the nation as a whole.

“I have contributed some of the best policies ever to the Ministry of Customs and Revenue”, he said.

Bloomfield said he would release his contribution and what he had created as guidelines and policies during his time with the Ministry shortly.

“I think it is important for the people to know about it”, he said.

The Electoral Commission has officially released the final candidate list today for the November 16 election.
