Samoa's PM to lead police reconciliation ceremony

Samoa's Prime Minister and Minister of Police will lead a reconciliation ceremony between the suspended Police Commissioner, Fuiavailili Egon Keil and other senior officers.

A reliable source in the police says the prime minister is expected to address the gathering but no other details has been made available to them.

Tuila'epa Sailele Malielegaoi in his weekly radio interview last Thursday compared the reconciliation between the Fuiavailili and the divided senior officers to a divorced couple that when they are reunited their relationship is solid and stronger.

Tuila'epa also reaffirmed that the keys to the police armoury will continue to be in his possession as the Minister of police.

RNZ reports today's reconciliation will only be attended by Commissioned officers from the rank of police inspector to superintendent and assistant police commissioners.

Meanwhile the two police officers involved in two separate investigations against Fuiavailili have since resigned.
