@ Langimalie. Just because we receive aids from these countries does not mean we have to swallow everything they shove down our throat. I suggest Langimalie you read the CEDAW documents for yourself and think long and hard about the implications and what awaits those who ratify it. If you're still not happy then I suggest you move to those CEDAW countries and let Tonga be Tonga, not CEDAWTonga.
-
You are quiet right Langimalie, but bad debt will happen to Tonga as Civil Servants wants more from less resources, Government need more development for its people. People prefer a developed nation in regards to high literacy. I trusted that this Government will cut and minimise expenses according to their criticism scheme but it didn't.
However, inviting CEDAW will not solve our debt problem but first and foremost CUT WAGES from Ministers to lower civil servants will do. -
This country is heavily dependent on donated funds from CEDAW countries. Tonga Government in big debt from previous Government Mr Akolo was involved with. The CEDAW version explained by the experinced Barrister & Solicitor Nalesoni Tupou is more realistic than the cut & past mention by Akolo.
