Contrary to renewed calls to allow Samoans residing over-seas to vote in General Elec-tions, government under no

circumstance is stopping any Samoan el-igible to vote to be part of the democratic election process, says Prime Minister Tui-laepa Lupesoliai Sailele Malielegaoi.

Opening the electoral rolls for overseas Samoans to cast their bal-lots as absentee voters during general elections has resurfaced again

with Former Prime Minister and Ex-Opposition Leader Tui Atua Tupua Tamasese Efi urging Government to amend the electoral laws to this effect.

But the Prime Minister is baffled with the narrow minded thinking by the former PM.

“Lest Tupua forgets, this has been a long standing issue which has been duly addressed by Parliament with amendments to the Electoral Act based on recommendations from Commission of Inquiries estab-lished law after every General Elections,” responded the Prime Min-ister.

“And among those amendments ensures the right for all Samoan eligible to vote to exercise that right without restrains,” said Tuilaepa.

understanding, perseverance and courage to our forefathers to believe that Samoa could govern her own affairs. Today marks anoth-er milestone of our independence and we remember and acknowledge with pride and heartfelt thanks the toil and contributions of our forefathers and leaders who championed our Independence and have led our Govern-ment and people from the beginning up to this day.

As the first, and oldest State among the independent nations in the Pacific, our coun-try has grown in terms of our population and economic development. A clear direction has been set for the future through sustainable de-velopment modalities, plans and priorities of government to provide for the country now, and the generations to come. The knowledge and wisdom of our people have allowed them to confidently devise laws and policies, appro-priate resources, and lead the implementation of developments in all sectors of the econo-my. These have required the close partnership between government Ministries and Corpo-rations and our people, especially the sup-port of our village chiefs and orators, church leaders, women committees, non-government organisations, private sector, and the business community. We acknowledge also with appre-ciation the love and support of our Samoan people abroad.

I acknowledge with sincere gratitude these joint national efforts and may we continue to embrace all which have enabled our devel-opment to progress. More importantly, may we continue to uphold the foundation of our existence through Jesus Christ, the Head of the Christian Faith, and our customs and tradi-tions. Thank you Samoa for loving your coun-try and for being faithful servants to our God.

Let me acknowledge with utmost appre-ciation the continuing support and kind as-sistance of our development partners. Their

assistance in many spheres or our economic development is a living testament of genuine partnerships. These have been in existence for years and have grown from strength to strength. Thank you indeed for helping Sa-moa. We pray for God’s comfort and healing upon their countries and people during this difficult time of the COVID-19 pandemic.

We should not lose faith and hope with so much happening around us to date.

Our country is grounded on our belief in God the Father, the Son and the Holy Spir-it, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, the God of Israel, and the God of Samoa upon whom our Independent Nation is founded. We are also guided by our traditional values and customs in which love and respect for each other strengthen us. Let the Holy Spirit cast down the strongholds of the enemy that try to shaken us or move us. These will all come to pass. Let us remain focused on prayer, fasting and returning glory to our God, and look upon our Lord, who has promised us that He would not leave nor forsake us. Let us also pray for peace amongst us all, and in the world. Let us also pray for the peace of Israel, God’s chosen nation where Jesus Christ our Lord and Sav-iour was born.

The COVID 19 can be numerically re-versed to get the number 91. Psalms 91vividly reminds us that ‘you will not fear any danger by night or an arrow during the day; You will not be afraid of the diseases that come in the dark or sickness that strikes at noon’. ‘At your side, thousands of people may die, or even ten thousand right beside you, but you will not be hurt”. This is because, God is our refuge, and our strong tower. Let us remain in the shadow of His wings to keep us safe.

God bless all our people. Happy Independence Day Samoa! SOIFUA

Rumours that some of the Samoan passengers who arrived last Friday from Auckland on the re-patriation flight are suspected to have COVID-19 symptoms, have been labelled as “irresponsible and reckless,” by Prime Minister Tuilaepa Sailele Malielegaoi.

Denouncing the rumours during his Taimi ole Palemia weekly television program with TV1 last night, Tuilaepa reassured that country that he was informed late yesterday that the said rumours are lies created to cause unnecessary panic.

“There will always be people resorting to deceit and lies to defame and discredit the Government and the tarnish the work by dedicated and profes-sional public servants,” elaborated Tuilaepa. “It’s natural for these devious minds to undermine any and all of Government’s positive achievements to suit their ulterior motives

“And to clear any doubts I have been informed by the Health CEO that initial tests after the pas-sengers arrived have cleared all of the returning residents of any suspected symptoms,” he contin-ued. All the necessary precautions which include daily medical check-ups for the returning residents are continuing until the 14 quarantine mandate is satisfied.”

He added that the Ministry of Health facilitat-ed by the National Emergency Operation Center, (N.E.O.C.) continues to remain on the frontline protecting Samoa’s borders from COVID 19.

“We are as ready as we can be,” reassured Tu-ilaepa. “Protecting all residents from the virus re-mains paramount to Government.”

On a separate note, the Prime Minister also ac-knowledges the spiritual support from prayers by all churches and denominations which he says is

the divine intervention that continues to protect Sa-moa from COVID 19.

On the global front, the Prime Minister noted that latest reports shows that while the pandemic appears to be slowing down, it is no excuse for Government to relax.

“There remains the chance for the virus to reach Samoa and that is the last thing we want,”

he said noting that as of yesterday and based on NEOC reports, COVID 19 has claimed close to 380 thousand lives with the United States accounting for over 100-thousand fatalities or one third of the lives lost.

While there are fatalities in Australia (103 as of yesterday) and New Zealand (22 as of yesterday), the report noted the high recovery cases in both countries with no seriously critical case in New Zealand and only 3 in Australia.

“We continue to monitor the developments on

a daily basis and we will continue to change our State of Emergency Orders as Government sees fit. These decisions are made all in the best interest of protecting the country from COVID-19,” he said.

In his ending remarks, he reiterated earlier calls by Health and NEOC officials not to be easily con-vinced with the unofficial reports and fake news littering the viral media and to seek the factual in-formation circulated and posted on the Ministry of Health and Government of Samoa’s website and official government outlets.

Ultra red scanners now available at the Faleolo International Airport to screen all new arrivals. It’s the latest technology secured by Government to minimize any change of suspected cases of COVID 19 entering the country through the Airport.

The VAGST tax is the product of the Off-Shore Banking (principal) Act initiated by then Prime Minister, the late Vaai Kolone and his Deputy PM Tupua Tamasese Efi and approved into law by Par-liament.

“It’s all in the Hansard, (Legislature’s Offi-cial Records),” clarifies Prime Minister Tuilaepa Sailele Malielegaoi.

Also in the Hansard added the Prime Minister is a speech by then Minister of Finance, Faaso’otau-loa Sam Saili which acknowledges the beginning of the VAGST with a tax on hotels with the intention to extend it across the board that will also include a VAGST on services. “It can’t be memory loss

Tui Atua had claimed that the VAGST tax which was severely opposed by the Pule and Tumua pub-lic movement was authored by then Prime Minister Tofilau Eti Alesana and then Finance Minister Tui-laepa. That act, insisted Tui Atua was approved by Parliament in 1993 under the Tofilau Eti Adminis-tration.

Not so, refuted Prime Minister Tuilaepa not-ing that when appointed by PM Tofilau as Finance Minister, he took over VASGT from where Tupua’s administration left it and it included amendments to the Principal Off Shore Banking Act passed by

VAGST’s factual history recorded in Hansard, clarifies PM Tuilaepa

Parliament during Tupua’s tenure.Tuilaepa says that it was also predictable when

Tupua orchestrated the Pule and Tumua Movement to stir public unrest which if it was not handled dip-lomatically it would have led to blood shed which he blames Tupua as the instigator.

Incidentally, the Prime Minister noted that now

that the Off-Shore Center has evolved into the Sa-moa International Finance Authority, (SIFA) which is a legitimate government entity, Tuilaepa that the same Tupua has returned with defamatory allega-tions of money laundry against SIFA.

“I am convinced that Tui Atua has a selective memory,” added the Prime Minister. “He appears

to remember things which he wants to remember only.”

In conclusion, Tui Atua’s continued denial of his short comings, says Tuilaepa is a sign of a per-son who should not be trusted.

for three years (monotaga) to be eligible to participate in general elections. “This amendment was deliberately included to personify our respect to our resident matais

serving their respective villages and constituency day in and day out.“The greatest insult of all time to our resident Samoan matais is for a candidate who has

never provided service or contributed a sene to the village and for thw electoral developments and welfare to pop up from nowhere and claim his right as an election candidate.

“Is he (Tui Atua) really willing to take that gamble and insult our resident serving matais?“Is he (Tui Atua) prioritizing the rights of Samoans overseas over our residents who are toil-

ing daily to ensure our survival and our people’s daily needs are met?“To my political opposites, I say this again, Ole ala ile pule ole Tautua. (The way to Leader-

ship is through Service).On that note, the Prime Minister says that he will not set any precedent when it comes to

absentee voting.“The same issue was presented to past Prime Ministers and they remain firm.“And who am I a meager servant of the people to change that.” Tuilaepa is also aware that the Tuiatua is “inciting false hope by provoking the emotions of

the voters” using private remittances as an argument to introduce absentee voting.“It’s no secret that private remittances play a pivotal role in the development of our country. “But Tupua suddenly forgets or oblivious to the fact the remittances are a direct cash injec-

tion to families and relatives here,” said Tuilaepa. “And the truth of the matter is our families here are reaping the fruits of their overseas

relatives’ hard labour from their private remittances and we acknowledge their valuable contri-bution..

“Remitttances is the life line for families and used for their faalavelaves, to build new homes, buy cars, pay for their day to day necessities and even pay for their children’s education.

“And government is more than appreciative of that fact.“For Tui Atua to play with the emotions of voters is a conniving ploy, one of his well known

political tactic. “For the record,” concluded the Prime Minister. “Your government is not restraining any

Samoan from voting or running in general elections.“That is the constitutional right of Samoans that cannot and is not taken for granted by my

administration.”

Ia tatou tatalo foi mo le faamafanafa-naga a le Atua ma Lana faamalologa, i le feagai ai o o latou atunuu ma le faamai koviti 19.

Le atunuu e, e ui ina o tatou iai i nei vaitau faigata, ia mau pea lo tatou faatuatuaga i le Atua. O auupega ua tuuina mai e Iesu Keriso, o le Ao o le Ekalesia mo ē e faatuatua ma talitonu ia te Ia; o le tatalo ma le anapogi, ma le viiga e le aunoa e tuuina atu ia te Ia. O le faavae papa lea e lē maluelue, e faamanatu mai ai pea ia i tatou pe afai e ta’aliligia matagilēmoe, ma le osofai mai o luitau o le ola nei. E ui foi ina tetele ā pesega ma finagalo e lagalagā i nisi taimi, pei a nunu ai le toau, e matua lava i le ōō. Aisea? Auā o tu ma aganuu a Samoa e faavae i le alofa ma le faaaloalo. O Samoa foi, o le atunuu e faavae i le talitonuga Kerisiano, ma e ta’uta’u faaa-liali le Atua i ona upufai o aso uma. O la’u tatalo, ia i ai le filemu o le Atua i lo tatou atunuu, faapea le lalolagi atoa. Ia tatou tatalo foi mo Isaraelu le nuu filifilia o le Atua na soifua mai ai Iesu Keriso lo tatou alii ma le faaola.

O le numera 19 o le faama’i o le Koviti, a feli-ua’i ona maua lea o le numera 91. Ona ou aumaia ai lea o le mau a le fai Salamo i le lautusi e 91 e faapea, “E te le mata’u i le faama’i e fealua’i i le pogisa, ma le mala e fano ai i le aoatea. E pauu se toaafe i ou tafatafa, ma le mano i lou itu taumatau, ae le taitai ane ia te oe.” Auā o le Alii o lo tatou malu Ia ma lo tatou olo, na te laveaiina i tatou i le faamai e oti ai.

Samoa e, tatou tumau i le paolo o aao alofa o Iesu, tatou te malu ai.

Ia faamanuia tele le Atua i lo tatou atunuu. Ia manuia le faailogaina o le 58 tausaga o lou Malo Tutoatasi, Samoa.
