AGP Executive Report

Last update: 4 hours ago

Fuel Crisis Politics: Samoa’s Ministry of Finance says there is NO fuel shortage and reserves remain “comfortable” (50 days diesel, 56 petrol, 82 kerosene/jet) after a tanker arrival, but the Disaster Advisory Committee has still moved the country to amber alert as a precaution—prompting pushback from MP Leatinuu, who argues the focus should be on cutting fuel costs, including removing the government fuel levy. Parliament & Land Law: With Samoa marking 64 years of independence, attention is on the current sitting of parliament and debate over the Special Parliamentary Inquiry Committee’s recommendations on the Land and Titles Court laws. Regional Trade Push: Pacific trade officials urged stronger implementation of EU trade deals, with calls to turn commitments into real benefits as more states move toward iEPA and the Samoa Agreement. Justice & Accountability: In New Zealand, former funeral director Nicholas Bakulich was convicted and discharged over misconduct involving a Samoan chief’s remains, with the court calling his conduct “dishonest.” Sports & Community: Vailima Marist Sevens set up a Fiji vs Samoa final (Tepatasi vs Yaro Chiefs), while Triathlon Samoa’s Independence Day relay drew 12 teams for a 21km community race.
