Lavulavu escapes impeachment after PM pleads with house to leave penalty to him

By

-

Tonga’s Minister of Infrastructure has survived a motion to impeach him by just three votes.

Impeachment could have ended his career, but Prime Minister ‘Akilisi Pohiva told the House that surviving the vote did not mean the Minister would go unpunished.

The motion was put to the House after the Parliamentary Privileges Standing Committee found there was evidence that the Minister, Hon. ‘Etuate Lavulavu, had broken the law.

During the noisy debate that followed, a weeping Hon. Lavulavu apologised to the House and the Prime Minister.

Hon. Pohiva pleaded with the House to let him deal with the Minister.

Hon. Lavulavu was investigated after a motion by Vava’u No 2 Nobles’ Representative Lord Tu’ilakepa in August triggered an investigation into claims he was guilty of nepotism and fraud.

Hon. Lavulavu was accused of diverting the bulk of government money for road construction and other government projects to his son, Paea Lavulavu, and his company, Shining Turtle Construction.

The Privileges Committee told the House it gave Hon. Lavulavu five different opportunities to respond to the allegations, but to no avail.

The Committee said there was prima facie evidence against the Minister and told the House to accept all its recommendations.

PM pleas

The House accepted the Privilege Committee’s recommendation and in a sometimes emotional debate argued whether Parliament should impeach The Minister.

The Prime Minister asked MPs to put Parliament’s role in the impeachment aside and let him punish Hon. Lavulavu according to the power given to him by the constitution.

Hon Pohiva told the House he believed Hon. Lavulavu had broken the law and breached government policies and that he had the power to sack him.

But the Speaker of the House told the Prime Minister he feared that if the House did not approve the impeachment that would be the end of the case.

The Minister of Finance, Hon. ‘Aisake Eke, who is a member of the Privilege Committee, told the House he believed there was a case to be heard in the House.

The Prime Minister told the House before the Speaker put the motion to the vote that even if Hon. Lavulavu survived the ballot it did not mean he would not penalise him in cabinet.

The vote went 12 for Lavulavu and nine against him.

After the ballot the House took a break for the day. It will resume on duty next Wednesday before the Legislative Assembly closed for the term on Thursday 29.

Dr Taufeʻulungaki’s comments “disrespectful” and “untrue,” Prime Minister’s Office says

Claims by former Minister of Education, Dr ‘Ana Maui Taufe’ulungaki that Prime Minister ‘Akilisi Pohiva did not understand what he was doing were disrespectful and untrue, the Prime Minister’s Office said.

The Office said that in his role as the Education Minister, Hon. Pohiva was working to find a solution to a recently released report which showed that exam pass rates had declined dramatically while Dr Taufe’ulungaki was Minister of Education.

Hon. Pohiva, a former government teacher and lecturer at Tonga’s Teachers Training College now known as Tonga Institute of Education, said one of the problems that contributed to the decline was the use of standardisation of results to improve students’ final marks.

This meant primary school students who failed the Secondary Entrance Examination (SEE), particularly in English and Mathematics, could still get into high school, but were ill prepared to cope with work at a higher level.

The scaling of entrance exam results had misled the public about student performance, the PM’s Office said.

The PM’s Office released its statement after Dr Taufe’ulungaki joined forces with a group of supporters who strongly criticised Hon. Pohiva’s move to return the education system’s marking process to assessing raw marks.

Dr Taufe’ulungaki and her supporters believe standardisation is best for Tonga and it should be maintained.

Hon. Pohiva said Dr Taufe’ulungaki should give him a chance to do his job as her time was over.

The Prime Minister’s Office said a report was released on September 8 in which Hon. Pohiva pointed why students had performed poorly in the last decade.

Pohiva claimed Dr Taufe’ulungaki was well aware of the report as it was something she witnessed while she was a minister, but since the report was released none of his critics had formulated a response.

He said Dr Taufe’ulungaki should understand the ministerial posts were political appointments and their roles were mainly limited to matters like policy making decisions.

He said the ministry was comprised of senior officials and experts on various fields who ensured  the education system functioned properly.

The report

The report analysing the quality of education in Tonga showed that the rate of students passing their exams had been declining over the past decade, the Prime Minister’s Office said.

According to the report, the pass rate of students sitting for English and Mathematics in SEE in the period 2002–2014 was consistently about 30% or lower.

It said this level of performance was disappointingly low and nothing had been done to improve the situation, despite efforts to reform the education system.

In 2002, 23% of the students who sat for English passed. This pass rate dropped to 20% in 2014. In Mathematics, only 17% passed in 2014, a drop of 14 percent from 31% in 2002.

There was also a clear indication that the number of students passing popular subjects like Tongan Studies and Environmental Science with 50% raw marks or better had also declined.

Since taking office in January, Hon. Pohiva has attempted to find a solution to fix the declining trends of students’ performance.

The Prime Minister’s office said the public did not know how badly students had done because of the standardisation process and the way the results were reported.

“The scaling of results has misled the public about student performance against prescribed learning outcomes, thus allowing students to enter secondary school ill prepared.

“It infers that the scaling process has allowed students who actually failed in Mathematics and English to move on to secondary school alongside those who had passed legitimately.”

Real Tonga’s Y12 domestic aircraft has been withdrawn from services after it had a problem with engine performance and landed safely yesterday local media reported.

The Civil Aviation Minister ‘Etuate Lavulavu reported as saying he was “concerned” as this was not the first time the problems happened.

The incident came on a day of continuing turmoil for the national airline, in which we received several complaints from passengers saying flights scheduled for the Niuas were cancelled earlier this week with the company telling passengers it was due to aircraft’s technical problems.

It was understood some of the outer islands flight schedules were cancelled last week but that was due to bad weather conditions.

Real Tonga could not be reached for comments.

Law to control internet access does not breach freedom of speech and right to privacy, says Attorney General

Tonga’s Attorney General Office has denied accusations that the new Communications Law breaches citizens’ rights to free speech and privacy.

The new law will give the Ministry of Communication the right to tell communication companies in Tonga to filter their customers’ internet to prevent children from accessing sexual images.

Customers could tell communication companies to remove the filter if they felt their house was safe and contained no children, Deputy Prime Minister Hon Siaosi Sovaleni told the House.

However the Attorney General’s Office was responding this week  to allegations raised in the media that the new law would breach Tongan citizen’s legal rights to freedom of expression and the right to privacy.

The Office said freedom of expression and the rights to protect privacy were protected under existing communication laws and clause seven of the kingdom’s 1875 constitution.

It said these rights could only be removed if the courts so decide after considering an application from a legal authority.

The Attorney General has stressed that the Communication Law (2015) and the existing communication acts do not affect their freedom of speech and right to privacy.

The Attorney General’s office said it was collating information for the new laws which was recently passed by Parliament before being presented to the king for His signature.

After the king signs the law the government will announce when the new communication law will be made effective.

The new communication law

The Deputy Prime Minister, Hon. Siaosi Sovaleni, who is also the Minister of Communication told the House the new communication law was an updated version of the Communication Law (2000).

He said the new law only proposed giving the power to block websites that might threaten children and adults.

Sections 100-103 of the new Communication Law deals with educational content, national security and political and controversial content.

They deal with how the king and the government can grant applications to access material for educational use. These sections are in the current communication regulations as sections 82-84.

Hon. Sovaleni said the new law gave the Ministry the power to order communication companies to install filters which block websites containing sexual images. This is being done to protect children from pornography.

Hon. Sovaleni said if Tongan Telecommunications and Digicel had this authority they would install mandatory filtering on their customers’ internet, but with certain terms and conditions.

He said the new law stipulated the ages of customers to whom communication companies can give internet access.

Hon. Sovaleni told the House the new law would give power to the Ministry and communication companies the right to take down websites if people complained they were a threat to security.

The main points

  • Tonga’s Attorney General Office has denied accusations that the new Communications Law breaches citizens’ rights to free speech and privacy.
  • The new law will give the Ministry of Communication the right to tell communication companies in Tonga to filter their customers’ internet to prevent children from accessing sexual images.

The Tongan man accused of killing another Tongan man following an attack outside a Bountiful home,  Davis County, Utah, United States was charged Tuesday 20 with murder.

Heneli Kaufusi, 35, has been charged with first-degree felony in Farmington’s 2nd District Court.

The deceased, Sione Mangisi, 37,  who was known to many as Mataele had an ex-wife and four children living at the home with Kaufusi, including an infant.

According to Bountiful media, “Kaufusi allegedly beat  Mangisi while he was on the ground, taking swings at him and later throwing Mangisi into the gutter and stomping on him”.

It said Mangisi died from his injuries before first responders could get him to a hospital, Bountiful police said.

The alleged murder occurred on October 14 in front of Kaufusi’s home near 3534 S. Lexington Drive, investigators said.

Mangisi was apparently visiting his children in town from Hawthorne, California, who they live at the home with their mother and Kaufusi.

The four children, including an infant, reportedly weren’t home at the time of the attack.

Biblical text written to mark 40th anniversary of the appearance of mysterious cross at Pangai

By

A Biblical and theological analysis has been written to mark the 40th anniversary of the appearance of a mysterious cross at the Pangai, Ha’apai’s Free Wesleyan church compound on  October 26,1975.

The document, a Biblical and theological exegesis of Mystery (mysterium Deo) in presenting the Mystery Cross at Pangai, Ha’apai, was written by Rev Dr Mohenoa Puloka.

It was accompanied by a Langimana ‘o e Kolosi Ne Hā Fakamisiteli, a song for the mysterious cross that is said to have danced.

Rev Puloka told Kaniva News the Langimana ‘o e Kolosi Fakamisiteli was performed at the Royal Palace when they performed the fakatakatōfā – the song or faiva (group dance) performed to awake the king early in the morning – during the coronation celebrations in July.

According to Rev Puloka, on the day the cross appeared, the Minister in Charge of Young People and Evangelism Ministries, Rev Kalavite ‘Uhila, was on his way to the church for a preaching service at about 5am when he saw a bright light in the church grounds.

Rev ‘Uhila braved himself by walking straight toward the light, which he discerned  as a cross lying on the ground to the east of the church.

After the early service, Rev ‘Uhila revealed the existence of the mysterious cross to the senior pastor, Rev. Vili Fatai Koli, Rev. Haitini Fīnau, the Principal of Taufaʻāhau and Pilolevu College, and the congregation.

“They all went outside and confirmed the presence of the mystery cross,” Rev Puloka told Kaniva News.

“By then the light had gone out, but the outline of this mystery cross was permanently embedded on the ground and the grass turned deep yellowish green.”

The cross was 30 feet and eight inches (10 metres and 20 cm) long and 23 feet four inches (seven metres and 10 cm) along the crossbar. The long part of the cross was three feet and four inches (one  metre) wide.

It is understood the outline of the mysterious cross was later cemented to maintain its original shape.

Rev Dr Puloka said he believed: “The mystery cross is the only known and confirmed imprimatur cross delivered by angelic hosts from heaven.”

“The instance was quickly relayed to the President of the Free Wesleyan Church of Tonga, the Rev. Dr. Sione ‘Amanaki Havea, at Nukuʻalofa.

“After confirming the existence of the cross, Rev. Dr. Havea duly informed his Majesty, King Taufaʻāhau Tupou IV. About a week later, His Majesty paid a visit to the mystery cross at Pangai, Haʻapai.”

After the king confirmed for himself the presence of the cross he held a brief press conference and said the mystery cross found its home at the hereditary home of King Taufaʻāhau Tupou I.

His Majesty said the magical cross appeared on the same ground where Taufaʻāhau knelt for baptism by the Rev. John Thomas on August 7, 1831.

”This cross is God’s confirmation of that 1839 covenant in which King Taufaʻāhau Tupou I offered the people and the land of Tonga to God: God and Tonga are my heritage,” Rev Dr Puloka said.

Former Education Ministry CEO leads call to oust Hon. Pohiva as Education Minister

Former Ministry of Education CEO Emily Moala Pouvalu is trying to have Prime Minister ‘Akilisi Pohiva dismissed from his position as Education Minister.

Pouvalu launched the petition, which claims  Pohiva is no longer fit to lead the Ministry, after a meeting at the Basilica of St Anthony of Padua in Nuku’alofa on Monday.

The petition, which is also aimed at Acting Minister of Education, Hon. ‘Etuate Lavulavu, will be sent to the king.

Pouvalu and her supporters claimed Hon. Pohiva’s leadership had caused a lot of dissatisfaction among senior officials in the ministry.

They said they were also concerned the Acting Minister of Education, Hon. ‘Etuate Lavulavu, who is also the Minister of Infrastructure and Tourism, had damaged the Ministry during the time in the position.

However, in a story on a Tongan local radio station some high school directors were reported as still supporting Pohiva and Lavulavu in their roles in the ministry.

Pouvalu’s contract as CEO of the Ministry of Education ended in May 2015. The position was re-advertised until May 5 and interviewing of applicants began in June 3.

Pouvalu applied for the job and in August she appeared in the media, voicing her concerns about how the Tonga  Public Service Commission had not released the results.

Meanwhile, rumours had spread among the public about who had been given the post.

In an interview with Nepituno News outlet in August, she said she lost interest in the job when she heard the rumours.

She said she was more concerned at how the process of recruitment was followed and how confidential information about the interviewees was leaked.

Pouvalu said the recruitment procedure was unreliable.

She also denied allegations that she complained when she heard rumours that someone else has got the job. She said she only lodged a letter of inquiry on July 28 raising her concern about the delay in announcing the result of the interview.

She said soon after allegations began to circulate that she had  complained.  She said perhaps the person who spread the story did not know the difference between “complaint” and “inquiry.”

Pouvalu also talked about her concerns about the mark standardisation saga that triggered threats of legal action from the Prime Minister’s son after he was accused of having been involved in a computer software project that would see the system for the computerisation of the students’ marks be changed.

She said she was concerned the change from using the standardisation method to raw marks could lead to a situation overseas institutions would refuse to accept Tongan students’ marks.

Pouvalu said the decision to use raw marks was based on a vote by high school principals at a meeting in Nuku’alofa.

She said the decision should have been made by experts in the field.

The main points

  • Former Ministry of Education CEO Emily Moala Pouvalu is trying to have Prime Minister ‘Akilisi Pohiva dismissed from his position as Education Minister.
  • Pouvalu launched the petition, which claims Pohiva is no longer fit to lead the Ministry, after a meeting at the Basilica of Anthony Padua in Nuku’alofa on Monday.

Mr Apple claims Tongan employees face few problems, says most “working really well”

By
Kalino Latu
-

The Labour Manager of one of New Zealand’s largest fruit growing companies said last week Tongan seasonal workers employed by his company faced very few problems.

Mr Apple’s Labour Manager Alistair Jamieson told Kaniva News Tongans working under Recognised Seasonal Employer (RSE) scheme visas at his Hawke’s Bay company earned good money and “most of them are working really well.”

The Tongan media has regularly reported on problems faced by seasonal workers.

In the past, mainstream media has also reported on problems, with  TVNZ current affairs show Close Up reporting on complaints by workers of poor accommodation.

When asked whether or not the social problems regularly raised on local Tongan media had been an issue with his Tongan workers, he said: “Not at all” and claimed that if there were any problems, they were very low level.

However, Jamieson, who was addressing a meeting in Auckland,  said he was aware of cases involving seasonal workers had been heard in court.

This had not affected the value of the work done by the other employees.

He said he had the power to send any workers home if they caused trouble.

Jamieson said the 350 Tongans employed by the company were hard working people and “physical men.”

He said the company’s Tongan workers were financially aware and knew how to calculate their pay and raise concerns if they were not satisfied.

He said the average wage was NZ$1200/TP$1766 a week, which came to NZ$800/TP$1177 after taxes.

Most of the money went to Tonga every week. He said he understood the workers’ families in the kingdom looked forward to receiving the money.

Jamieson was speaking to Tongan media in Auckland before flying to the kingdom to recruit more workers.

He said the regional workers visa scheme would remain open to Tongans and other Pacific islanders because New Zealand horticulture could not do without it. He said New Zealanders could not provide that many labourers needed by the horticultures.

According to the Mr Apple website, the company is the largest “vertically integrated apple grower, packer, shipper and exporter in New Zealand” and sells 97% of its apples on the international market.

“We control 25% of New Zealand’s total apple crop,” the website claims.

“One out of every four apples exported from NZ is exported by Mr Apple.”

Sefita Hao’uli, the RSE Tongan agent in Auckland, said they had 36 employers from Kerikeri to Christchurch who were working for growers producing lemons and oranges, strawberries, vegetables. Kiwifruit, apples, mixed fruit (pears, berries, and other pip fruit) and grapes (wine).

Most of their workers were employed in the apple sector doing the harvest and packhouse work, followed by kiwifruit and then the rest.

“Except for 2007 when we had only 600 workers, in the past eight years we have brought average of 1600 workers here each season,” Hao’uli said.

“About 75 percent of our workers each year are rehires, i.e they return to the same employer and the remaining 30 percent are people who are hired to replace those who have decided to opt out of the scheme or who have been replaced by the employer for one reason or another.

“We are required to distribute the opportunities for work throughout the kingdom and to those who do not have regular employment.”

Most of the workers are from Tongatapu and, in descending order, from Vava’u, Eua and then Haapai and a group of about 20 or so from the two Niuas.

The New Zealand government caps the number of RSE permits at 9000 for workers from the Pacific each season. Most are from Vanuatu, then Tonga (around 1800 or so this season) and then Samoa and smaller numbers from other island nations.

Search called off for Niuatoputapu missing fishermen as rescuers find capsized boat

The search for two Niuatoputapu missing fishermen has been called off after the discovery of their fishing boat, Tongan Police reported.

The fishermen, aged 58 and 48, were reported missing after they did not return to shore from a  fishing trip on Tuesday 6. .

Police said that HMAF’s petrol vessel Voea Savea reported the recovered boat was found capsized about 22kms off shore and there was no sign of the missing men.

Vavaʻu Police Superindentend Netane Falakiseni said reports on social media that the two men were found in Fiji yesterday were not true.

He said they have contacted Fiji Police to confirm the authenticity of reports that two fishermen from Tonga came to shore in the island of Taveuni and were taken to hospital and the response confirmed they were untrue.

Police called on the public and social media users to refrain from making false reports especially when it comes to sensitive cases like that of the missing fishermen.

“Best paid ever” ‘Ikale Tahi failed to perform as expected, rugby boss says after three losses

By
Kalino Latu

Tonga Rugby Union Chair ‘Epeli Taione said he took full responsibility for the ‘Ikale Tahi team’s failure to perform at this year’s Rugby World Cup.

Taione said the team had failed to perform to expectations  and this would continue to affect him and the TRU for a long time.

His comments came after a string of defeats suffered by the Tongan team.

He said this was by far the best prepared and paid team Tonga had ever fielded, but their  performance was not good enough.

He apologised to the nation and said he could not accept the situation. He said the team’s failure was unacceptable.

Taione made the comments after Tonga lost to Georgia, Argentina and before the team lost again to New Zealand. The losses caused great disappointment in the kingdom and triggered strong criticisms from many of the Tongan ‘Ikale Tahi supporters.

Tongan die hard supporters found the loss to Georgia the most tragic experience as they thought it should have been a no-brainer, given the outcome of the last match between the two countries in November 2014 when Georgia was defeated.

Many of the team’s supporters pointed fingers at the coach and the TRU. Some claimed  the team’s members were too old to play, an accusation that was also made about the South African team after its defeat by Japan.

Tonga pulled out of this year’s Rugby World Cup  after its team  lost to Georgia by 17 – 10,  Argentina 45-6 and  to the mighty All Blacks by 47-9 . Georgia has now qualified for the 2019 World Cup.

Many ‘Ikale Tahi supporters still regard the national team as their number one and said the boys did their best, even if they lost.

After the weekend’s loss to the All Blacks the Tongan supporters took to Facebook to show their appreciation and gratitude to the team.

Jenny Latu Salesa, the Tongan New Zealand Member of Parliament, wrote: “[We] are also die hard All Blacks supporters, however when they play against Tonga, we will support Tonga first, ABs are the world champs and they should have displayed more on the field today against a much lower ranked team. Overall, Tonga played really well against the ABs and I’m proud of their performance.”

“Well Tonga is still having floats and marching in the streets after their last game. We are proud of our boys and proud how they represented the country on the field!”, Josephine Latu Sanft wrote.

“Great game Tonga, awesome supporters, and in depth post match analysis.” another commentator wrote.

“Still proud of you Tonga,” John Nicholas Pulu wrote.

In a strongly worded message received by Kaniva News through Facebook Taione said: “This is not how we want to end the [competition], we are quite gutted and it will haunt [us] for a long time. I want to say thank you to everyone for their love and support. I took full responsibility for the team performance, thanks to the team and management but most importantly our fans. Ofa atu.

“We have no excuses, this is by far best prepared and paid team ever. Not good enough and we have to be brutally honest as a Board and management about performances. A full enquiry to be followed, and tough question will be asked. We cannot accept mediocre, and our performance is a big failure and it is unacceptable. Am sorry.”
