AGP Executive Report

Last update: 9 hours ago

Police & MPs: Samoa Police moved to shut down false social media claims after posts alleged an MP was caught in a drug raid with marijuana and methamphetamine. Police say no raid happened and no MP has been arrested, warning sharing defamatory claims is illegal. Stadium & sport: Cabinet approved renovations to Apia Park ahead of international fixtures, including Moana Pasifika’s Super Rugby match this Friday, with ministries tasked to finish works before the games. Media freedom: JAWS says it will write to the Prime Minister seeking clarification after an indefinite deferment of press conferences for all media. Court & party politics: FAST has applied to intervene in an HRPP judicial review case challenging the appointment of Fono Fa’avae chairpersons as discriminatory. Foreign policy: PM Fiamē Naomi Mata’afa says Samoa has no plans for military ties with China, while security discussions will be raised at the Pacific Islands Forum. Education & governance: The Education Ministry launched SEMIS, a real-time education data system to track school attendance and infrastructure so support can be targeted earlier. Regional security cooperation: Samoa and New Zealand launched a new four-year policing programme to strengthen capability and safer communities.
