SHADOW BOXING:
[Government Press Secretariat]- Tuilaepa Sa’ilele Malielegaoi has made another desperate
attempt to stir political drama by calling for Prime Minister Fiame Naomi Mataʻafa’s
resignation ahead of the no-confidence vote. But Fiame has made it abundantly clear—she
will not resign. If Tuilaepa truly believes in democracy and the Constitution, then he should
bring his issue to Parliament instead of making noise in the media.
The Prime Minister’s stance is firm: she was elected to lead, and she will not step down just
because Tuilaepa demands it. The Constitution and standing orders already outline the
process for a no-confidence motion. If he thinks he has the numbers, then let Parliament
decide. If not, then he should stop wasting everyone’s time with his usual distractions.
Tuilaepa, stop misleading the public and take your fight where it belongs—inside the walls of
Parliament.
