Lady ‘Eseta Fusitu’a who was Chair of Tonga Broadcasting Commission was told to resign effective on Monday October 19 at 4.30pm.
Lady Tuna Fielakepa one of the directors of the Tonga Broadcasting Commission was also told to submit her resignation on the same day as Fusitu’a.
The cabinet decision means that if the duo did not hand in their resignations by Monday they would be sacked.
Tonga’s Minister of Police Hon Pohiva Tu’i’onetoa told Kaniva News the cabinet understood Fusitu’a and Fielakepa were seeking legal action on the matter as they rejected government’s previou requests to voluntarily tender their resignations as board members.
Tu’i’onetoa said the new government wanted to put into place its policies and schemes and the decision against Fusitu’a and Fielakepa was made so that a new board of directors would do the work.
