Nuku‘alofa Senior Magistrate orders new traffic, land transport and vehicle use laws to be revised, wants fine collections to be stopped

A Senior Magistrate in Nuku’alofa has temporarily banned law enforcement authorities from collecting money from people who have been fined under new road safety measures the government signed into law in October 2020. 

Transport Minister Hon ‘Akosita Lavulavu

The magistrate has ordered the new traffic, land transport and vehicle use laws to be revised, citing concerns over the large amounts of money fines it has imposed, the Kakalu ‘O Tonga newspaper reported. 

The paper cited government sources who supported the Magistrate’s decision and claimed the basis on which the law was created appeared to be invalid. 

The new law, which was introduced by the Minster of Transport ‘Akosita Lavulavu included the compulsory wearing of seatbelts, made the use of mobile phones while driving illegal and mandated that cars cannot be used without a registration plate.

Children must also be seated when a vehicle is in motion, and they can no longer sit on the driver’s lap.

Playing loud music, extreme tinting and the addition of blinking, colourful or distracting lights have also been prohibited.

At the time, Hon. Lavulavu said the laws would make Tonga’s public roads safer.

The deadliest year on the roads in the past 10 years was 2018, with 21 deaths.

“The Traffic Act 2020 and the Roads Act 2020 have long been discussed and consulted on with the public and by the government during its passage through the legislative assembly,” the Ministry of Infrastructure said.

Criticisms

The law had been widely criticised by the public from the outset both in the local news and social media. 

The gist of the condemnation has been that while the vast majority of people in Tonga owned vehicles, they did not have sources of income. 

Critics cited sources from police who claimed most fatal accidents in Tonga were caused by speeding and drink driving. 

Late last year photos of vehicles in Ha’apai shared on social media showed pick up vans full of people standing in the back while the vans were moving. 

This was typical in December when  villages only had pick up trucks to transport their supporters and players during the basketball season. 

Commentaters on Facebook have asked what the government could do for these passengers and drivers of the Ha’apai pick up when the law for seatbelts was already in place.

Some believed the seatbelts law did not consider the fact that pick up trucks had been used to transport people in Tonga for a long time. They claimed that these vehicles appeared to have rarely been involved in road accidents. 

Supporters of the law said if all drivers and passengers followed what the law stipulated Police would hardly fine anybody.

Loud music 

The new law says that anybody playing loud music without permission while driving will face a fine of TP$500 for the first offence, a month in jail if they do not pay the fine and a TP$1000 fine for each subsequent offence, or three months in prison.

The Court can also also order that the convicted person be disqualified from holding or obtaining a driver’s license for a year.

Seatbelts

Every person driving a motor vehicle or riding in the front seat of a motor vehicle (other than a motor cycle) who does not wear an adult seatbelt commits an offence. This does not apply to a person riding in the front seat who is under 12 years

The Principal Licensing Authority may declare by notice in the Government Gazette additional mandatory requirements for motor vehicles to have working seatbelts before registration and licencing, and any additional requirements for rear seats and infant seats.  It shall not be a defence to any person charged with driving or riding in the front of a motor vehicle without wearing an adult seatbelt, if the motor vehicle does not have seatbelts, or has defective seatbelts. Anybody who fails to comply with any of the provisions of this section will be guilty of an offence.

A suspected serial cattle robbery has been discovered after Police arrested a group of women and men from a tax allotment in Fonongahina.

Police were tipped off while investigating a cattle theft at a nearby Ha’ateiho allotment that the group has allegedly sold stolen cattle.

Police believed the group, four women and three men obviously aged in their 20s and 30s, have stolen four cattle.

Police also believed this same group has been linked to more cattle being stolen from other places, Kakalu ‘O Tonga newspaper reported.

The women allegedly stole the cattle before the men butchered and sold them.

They appeared before a Magistrate Court on January 22. They were released on bail before they reappeared in court last week.

Supreme Court rejects request to extend Lavulavus’ deadline for Royal Institute fraud charges hearing

The Nuku’alofa Supreme Court today Friday 29 rejected a request from the Minister of Infrastructure and her husband to extend the deadline for the hearing of their fraud charges until June.

Hon. ‘Akosita and her husband ‘Etuate Lavulavu

William Clive Edwards Jr, one of the lawyers for Mrs ‘Akosita and Mr ‘Etuate Lavulavu wanted to give the Lavulavus’ barrister in Australia, Stephen Stanton, more time to make travel arrangements, Nepituno webpage reported today.

It said Stanton’s attempts to travel to Tonga had been marred by the impacts of the Covid-19 restrictions.

Edwards also wanted to give the Lavulavus’ lawyers more time to respond to prosecutors’ allegations.

The Lavulavu couple was arrested on October 2018 and charged with knowingly dealing with forged documents and obtaining credit by false pretences, after irregularities in an audit of the ‘Unuaki ‘o Tonga Royal Institute in 2016.

At the time, ‘Akosita was the Minister of Internal Affairs. She was later sacked from her ministerial position by the then Prime Minister due to the criminal charges.

She was re-elected about a year later by the current Prime Minister Pōhiva Tu’i’onetoa as his Minister of Infrastructure.

Chief Justice Michael Whitten rejected the request, saying the case had been held up for two years now.

Whitten said there has been several repatriation flights from Australia to Tonga recently and there was an opportunity there for Stanton to apply to travel to the kingdom. The government has announced this week more repatriation flights from Australia to Tonga starting next month until June.

Whitten has set the hearing date for 12 April 2021.

In 2016 Tonga’s Supreme Court convicted ‘Etuate of bribery and spending over the legal limit on his 2014 election campaign.

The judge said ‘Etuate was not a credible witness and that his evidence was implausible, evasive and untruthful.

‘Etuate is also facing a lawsuit after he was accused recently of forging a landlord’s signature in Vava’u from whom he leased land.

In 2000 he was sued by Late Prince Tu’ipelehake for damages and unlawful cultivation of his land. Chief Justice Ward ordered ‘Etuate to quit the land and pay $7,905 damages. Chief Justice Ward, presiding, was scathing about aspects of ‘Etuate’s testimony during the trial,  saying “I felt he was willing to say almost anything that seemed to suit the moment with a repeated disregard for the truth.”

‘Etuate was also arrested in Utah in the United States in October 2003 over a 1997 immigration scam. In 2004 he was convicted after pleading guilty to two counts of illegal use of a birth certificate.

He is the Deputy Chairman of the People’s Party, a political organsation he co-founded with Prime Minister Tu’i’onetoa.

Deportation stopping Tongan church members filing a complaint

There are fears some members of a Tongan church in Auckland at the centre of a residency scam are afraid to file a complaint in case they are deported.

Tongan lawyer Nalesoni Tupou has come across more than 100 Tongans who have been promised residency for cash by two men who are not authorised immigration agents.

Some of these Tongans have been stuck in New Zealand due to border closures, said Tupou.

“I found out about this particular scheme on the 5th of January, and it is two Tongan males behind it. One of them is a church minister operating the scheme from his Mangere address.

“The reverend promises the overstayers that their immigration status will be rectified and become lawful citizens of New Zealand,” Tupou alleged.

“He has told people that he has been authorised by the Prime Minister of New Zealand and the United Nations to look after Tongans who are unlawfully in the country.”

The man has apparently said getting residency involves going to Wellington with the overstayers to meet with the Prime Minister and attend the Waitangi Day celebrations in Northland in February.

“The final step of this process following Waitangi is that they will all gather at the Sky Tower, where there will be a High Court judge who will endorse their residency visa into their Tongan passports,” Tupou shared.

The Immigration Advisers Authority (IAA) are investigating the scheme and IAA registrar Duncan Connor warned that by law, any person giving immigration advice about New Zealand must be licensed by IAA unless they are exempt.

“Guides to using licensed immigration advisers are available online in multiple languages, including Tongan,” Connor said.

“The IAA encourages anyone who feels they have, or know someone who has, been given unlicensed immigration advice to contact the IAA and make a complaint.

“Due to the allegations about passports and money being taken from people, it may be appropriate for individuals to also consider getting in touch with local police to report theft,” Connor added.

However, Tupou said the families that has contacted him for advice, who have been caught in the scheme, do not believe the police or IAA can help them.

“They have paid around $500 per person to this unlawful character and up to $800 per family. There are Tongan immigration services out there that are legitimate, but their service is too expensive for these families.

“They are not in a position to go to the police because they are scared that they will be arrested for being unlawfully here.

“They don’t want to go to the government authority because they don’t trust them with their details and particulars. They’re worried in case they help IAA with the investigation, and then their details will be used to locate and arrest them and deport them to Tonga,” Tupou explained.

“At present, I know of nobody who is willing to file a complaint and that’s an issue for me and it should be an issue for the governments in New Zealand and Tonga.”

Tupou described the current situation as a stalemate.

“These Tongan families need something guaranteed in writing to tell inform them that if they choose to come forward to IAA, government officials will not arrest and deport them, but work on an alternative plan,” he said.

“This has happened around four or five times before and the last occasion was in 2016, which I was the person responsible for looking after these 1000 people caught in a similar scheme until 2019.

“The people will not come forward, I can tell you that, unless the government can promise them security.”

Some of these photos showed what appear to be young children swathed in blankets, sitting up while some were lying in hospital beds at the hospital. It has been reported that these children were rescued from the capsized boat.

Kaniva News’ response to statement by Prime Minister’s Office 

By
Kaniva Staff

The Prime Minister’s Office issued a press release today which said our story of January 20, 2021 headed ‘PM asks Parliament to pardon Tapueluelu for claims gov’t members drank alcohol at a barbecue after launching national fasting and prayer service,’ was  misleading. 

(L-R) Editor of Kaniva Tonga News Kalino Lātū, MP Māteni Tapueluelu and Prime Minister Pōhiva Tu’i’onetoa

The press release in Tongan claimed that what we reported was not the reason the Prime Minister forgave Tongatapu 4 MP Mateni Tapueluelu in Parliament. 

It said the reason why the PM forgave Hon. Tapueluelu because he showed contempt for the Hon Tu’ionetoa by saying he and his government’s mischievous way of fasting would bring curse on the country. It said Prime Minister Pohiva Tuionetoa did not drink alcohol. it also quotes some biblical scripts to support the Prime Minister’s forgiveness. 

Kaniva News stands by its article.

The press release said: 

“Correction to Kaniva and Kalino Latu, in regard to the article pardon of Mateni Tapueluelu by the Prime Minister, Rev. Dr. Pohiva Tu’ionetoa.”

“It is untrue and misleading for Mateni Tapueluelu and Kalino Latu to say the Prime Minister pardoned Tapueluelu after the Parliament approved submission to penalise Tapueluelu for contempt of the Prime Minister, because after the marking of the beginning of the fasting they went and drank alcohol and had a barbecue. The Prime Minister does not drink alcohol like Mateni Tapueluelu.”

It said Lord Nuku lodged a complaint against Mateni Tapueluelu for contempt of the Prime Minister on October 13, 2020 which said:  “Hon. Prime Minister you know, among the mischief you and your Cabinet are doing in this country, this is the worst mischief you have done. You have conducted the fasting in a mischievous way and it will bring a curse on this country. Stop that programme because it is bad. The tour was a political campaign.”

The Press Release also said: “There was nothing said during the debate on October 13, 2020 which showed that Mateni argued that the Prime Minister prayed mischievously because he drank alcohol after the marking of the beginning of the fasting. The Prime Minister’s Office believed this statement may have been a case for another complaint by Lord Nuku against Mateni Tapueluelu if he made such statement on  October 13, 2020.”

Response   

Kaniva News editor Kalino Latu said this evening the Prime Minister’s press release was misleading. 

“We did not say that Hon. Tapueluelu mentioned the barbecue and drinking alcohol by government staff members in Parliament on October 13, 2020,” Latu said.

“What we said was: Hon. Tapueluelu mentioned the barbecue and drinking alcohol by government staff members in Parliament while he was responding to the Minister of Finance (during the debate on January 13, 2021.) 

The first time for us to have reported the accusation was on January 20, 2021.

“In our January 20 article in question, this was a reference to this paragraph: ‘The Committee returned to the House last week with its findings and said Hon. Tapueluelu’s statement breached the Rules of Procedure of the Legislative Assembly regulation 108 and the constitution clause 70.” 

“We said “last week” meant January 13, 2021,” not October 13, 2020.  

“Neither did we say Hon.Tapueluelu accused the Prime Minister in particular of drinking alcohol as the press Release said.”  

The alcohol and barbeque accusation

Latu said that according to the Parliamentary record in page 36 of Hansard for January 13, 2021, Tapueluelu told the Minister of Finance he was concerned that after they marked the beginning of the fasting with prayers (“fakama’u ‘a e ‘aukai”) they left and drank alcohol and had a barbecue. “What would you call that? Lord Speaker that’s the reason for my concern,” Hon. Tapueluelu questioned Hon. Lavemaau.  

In Tongan, Hon. Tapueluelu said: ” Ka fakama’u ‘a e ‘aukaí pea ‘osi pē pea mātuku atu ‘o inu mo papakiu lau ia ko e hā? ko e ‘uhinga ia Sea ‘oku fai ai e tokanga”.

Hon. Lavemaau did not deny it, or answer the MP’s question. Instead, he just repeated Hon. Tapueluelu’s question by saying: “What would you call that?” (“Te ke toe ui ‘e koe e me’a ko iá ko e hā?”)

Neither the government benches nor the Committee denied or corrected the accusation made by Hon. Tapueluelu. Instead, they focused their debates on the importance of fasting and prayer services to the nation

Latu said that because the Standing Committee did not release Hon. Tapueluelu’s response to Lord Nuku’s complaint, which the Member for Tongatapu 4 submitted to the Standing Committee and no one in Parliament from the nobility or government benches corrected Hon. Tapueluelu’s response to Finance Minister,  Kaniva News had every reason to believe that Hon. Tapueluelu’s statement to the Minister of Finance was the motive behind Tapu’eluelu’s “mischief” accusation.

Latu said there was no explanation for why nobody from the government tried to correct the accusation. 

After Tapueluelu’s alcohol accusation the Finance Minster and other members of the Cabinet, the Nobility as well as the Democrats spoke to the House before the Prime Minister rose and asked Parliament to forgive Tapueluelu for his “mischief” accusation.
