Media Release: “Concerns over the New Government relaxed in implementing changes”
Tongan journalist Pesi Fonua reported the “House [was] in an uproar” this January 21st, 2015, on hearing Tonga’s Premier ‘Akilisi Pohiva had hired his son as his personal assistant at the Prime Minister’s Office (Fonua, 2015). Lord Vaea was the challenger in parliament’s debating chamber, and rightly so, in a role that might be considered leader of an opposition of eight nobles’ representatives to the Pohiva led coalition.
