This was announced by Prime Minister ‘Akilisi Pohiva yesterday in a Party meeting attended by some of the cabinet ministers and Party members, a spokesperson for Tonga’s Democratic Party, Kulufeinga ‘Anisi Bloomfield said.
The announcement of Dr Langa’oi’s appointment came after a decision by a panel to recommend her to the post earlier last month was withheld after the Prime Minister received a complaint in relation to the recruiting process.
Sometimes when a business is growing, it needs a little help.
Right now Kaniva News provides a free, politically independent, bilingual news service for readers around the world that is absolutely unique. We are the largest New Zealand-based Tongan news service, and our stories reach Tongans wherever they are round the world. But as we grow, there are increased demands on Kaniva News for translation into Tongan on our social media accounts and for the costs associated with expansion. We believe it is important for Tongans to have their own voice and for Tongans to preserve their language, customs and heritage. That is something to which we are strongly committed. That’s why we are asking you to consider sponsoring our work and helping to preserve a uniquely Tongan point of view for our readers and listeners.
