Hon. Minister for Infrastructure and Tourism Apologises to the Public for Picking up Rubbish on Sunday Featured

Hon. Lavulavu Hon. Lavulavu

Nuku'alofa, 31 July 2015. The Hon. Minister for Infrastructure and Tourism, Mr. Etuate Lavulavu, wishes to make a public apology to everyone affected by the issue of picking up rubbish on Sunday.

There was no intention at all by the Hon. Minister to breach the Sunday Law, but to ensure that Tonga was kept clean and beautiful at all times, especially after a Saturday evening when rubbish is often strewn all over the streets and public places.

The Hon. Minister deeply regrets the action he took, and seeks the pardon of all. The Hon. Minister is also grateful to everyone who contributed to keeping Tonga clean and beautiful, especially during the Coronation of Their Majesties.

He has been happy and very proud to receive good feedback from visitors and locals alike on the cleanliness of Tonga, and hopes that everyone will maintain the good spirit to continue the campaign for the “Keep Tonga Clean and Beautiful”.

The Hon. Minister further kindly seeks the assistance of the public and community to pick up their rubbish after Saturday events so that Sundays will continue to be spotlessly clean.

ENDS

    Why is the slogan in English, he 'oku laku veve 'ae kakai 'oku nau 'ahia mai hotau fonua? Is the slogan for the benefit of yet another foreign funded project?
    Picking up rubbish every day of the week wears off like panadol. We need immunisation for tthis epidemic. The serum is " Alu mo ho'o veve 'o laku 'i 'api"

    This Minister has his own way of drawing attention. He declared before over the media that his ministry is trying to comply with Tongan Laws which was never in use before. What's with the Sunday Law now? Lavulavu I'm afraid to say that your days are numbered. You have been playing the game with your own rules and low interpretation. I will remember you when what I'm saying occurs.
