“ I congratulate Sifa for "voicing" the hidden TRUTH. Although his first prose is not as perfect English like his second, I understood the moral of his messages clearly: We should not be embarrassed to reveal the truth. With all due respects, the Hon. Lord Fusitu'a missed a fantastic opportunity to shock the world, and the Tongan Government, (a) by revealing the greatest example of corruption in the history of Tonga; (b) and the guilty perpetrator - a powerful high-level Cabinet Minister - was set free by Parliament this year...courtesy of the Prime Minister and his pro-democratic party.
It would have damaged Tonga's reputation, and calls to blame Lord Fusitu'a for breaching protocols would surely piled on him, no doubt. But should we blame the messenger? It's the kind of "truth" shock Tonga needs to break the corruption culture perpetuated in Government at the highest level.
Since these high-level corruptions are protected by powerful men, the only recourse the public has left is some gutsy revelations through the media. And Sifa is also correct: workshops on "corruption prevention" are useless without brave people exposing them. ”
