AGP Executive Report

Last update: 6 hours ago

Fuel & Government Response: Samoa’s Disaster Advisory Committee moved the country to an “amber alert” over global fuel disruption risk, even as the Ministry of Finance insists there’s no fuel shortage and reserves remain comfortable (50 days diesel, 56 petrol, 82 kerosene/jet). Cost-of-living Pushback: Faleata No.2 MP Leatinuu questioned the amber alert and urged immediate relief on fuel costs, including removing the government fuel levy and subsidising bus fares. Public Service Capacity: 109 public servants graduated at USP Samoa, backed by Australia’s Tautai Governance for Economic Growth Program, aimed at strengthening government systems and service delivery. EU-backed Agribusiness Innovation: FAO and the EU-funded STODAS project wrapped Samoa’s Agri-Innovate Competition 2026, spotlighting new agrifood entrepreneurs and MSMEs. Court & Accountability: In New Zealand, former funeral director Nicholas Bakulich was convicted and discharged over misconduct involving human remains, ordered to pay emotional harm reparation. Regional Trade Focus: Pacific trade officials urged stronger implementation of EU partnership commitments, including iEPA and the Samoa Agreement, to turn trade deals into real benefits. Security & Drugs: Samoa reported 20 drug raids so far this year, with 55 people charged and methamphetamine among seized items.
