    Thank you Dr Okusitino Mahina , for your enlightened remarks.I realise my saying that expatriates do a better job of running businesses, may seem biased ,but it's true, we would have to be delusional to think otherwise.Yes we may have more people with degrees , but does that really make them honest ? Pride , greed, glory seeking , and the list goes on , is a weakness that's endemic to most third world countries .Politician should be infused with patriotic fervor in their quest for the betterment of the country they serve and it's people. We can quote famous words by renowned people , till we are red in the face but. will it improve the situation, the ignominious debacle that the government of the day is encountering ???? i It's unfortunate and sad, because Tonga have all these highly educated sons and daughters who could run the country, but due to differ from each other in both idiosyncrasy and party loyalty, this makes it hard to work to gather for the benefit of all .We can see here how difficult it is for us to work out a compromise , because as a people we will at every opportunity give priority to our own first even if that person is not competent to hold such a position . IN the west this is known as cronyism , we called it " Fakakainga" than there's corruption we called it " Takitaki " .. because, we as a people have from time immemorial been paying homage to kings and queens who were sons and daughters of gods that came to earth and took mortal women's to wife so its normal doing things,that way. When we apply for jobs we give gifts to who's in charge so he'll let me get the job. This apply to all walk of life from government to the private sector The poor sucks up to the rich , We as Polynesian never dealt with money , till the white man bought it to our attention . We were a bartering community, but than money 'came into our lives, that's what 'cause the problems.No one's denying Tongan has the capabilities and brains to govern, problems is cronyism,nepotism, this must STOP ! so that all government business can be transparent .
    We must stop raking up muck from the past and move on, the people running the government should concentrate on finding projects so that people find work. The saying "The devil makes work for idle hands " comes to mind , and we've seen the results . We could say with out a doubt that this a KAKISTOCRACY??????? God bless Tonga

    Malo fau Albert Wolfgram for truly heart-felt expressions of grave concerns and they are well-taken seriously but hasn't Tonga got more than enough rich material-physical, intellectual-emotional and social-cultural resources to be able to stand tall on her own two feet?

    This holds true to the whole spectrum of Tongan society as it does to education, economics and government. and many others. Hasn't Tonga got the most number of PhD degree graduates in the world as per population amidst many other things. Don't we take pride in this?

    There may be several recipes for a better [if not ideal] Tonga but I'm reminded of the words of wisdom uttered and echoed (and lives lived) by such giants and heroes of our common human history as Taufa'ahau Tupou 1, John F. Kennedy and Jesus Christ. to name a few, as follows:

    [1] "'Oku mu'omu'a taha mo mamafa taha pe kiate au 'ae lelei 'a Tonga 'i he lelei 'a'aku mo hoku famili" (trans "The common good of the whole of Tonga is first and foremost to me than the [personal] good of mine and my family.")
    (Please see the great article by Mapa Ha'ano Taumalolo)
    Taufa'ahau Tupou 1

    [2] "Do not ask what America can do for you but rather ask what you can do for America."
    John F. Kennedy

    [3] The sacrifice by Jesus Christ is made manifest in the manner of His life and indeed the manner of His death (In both life and death, He lived [and died] a life [and death] orienting away from the self towards others [as opposed to a life (and death) orienting towards the self] [sio-ki-tu'a kae 'ikai sio-kia-kita], that is, He lived (and died) unselfishly.
    The life and death of Jesus Christ.

    These three noble instances of heroic life and death, both metaphorical and actual, tell us that if we want a better [or ideal] Tonga for all to live [and die in] then we need to make real sacrifices by living a life [and dying a death] UNSELFISHLY! Amen and so let it be!

    When will people,wake up to themselves and see what's really happening within the government.? Corruption and Nepotism ;this is a sickness that's plagued most pacific nations , Cause ? we never were used to running government , the way western nations run theirs. People who are running the country now, used to scream abuse and rail against H M Tupou 4 , yes he made mistakes , but at least he did things for the country, eg, Tonga construction company , desiccated coconut factory,the Tonga shipping agency,we had work , why did all these workplaces went under? Because we kicked out the expatriate workers who had the expertise and the integrity that is required for the successful running of these workplaces, and why is that you may ask ? some how we thought we can run our country , but unfortunately we can't , it's not in our gene , we will always look after our own first, loyalty to family and friends, before anything else.So ! the proverbial " better the devil you know than the devil you don't know". We need palangi to be in charge and us to assist . please Tonga look at history, its the same everywhere that brown man black man is in charge the result , CHAOS ! Let the King be head of state, but for God sake give parliament the right to run the country. God in your mercy guide poor Tonga.
