Opposition leader, Tuilaepa Sailele Malielegaoi, attacked the FAST Party for staging what he called a 'bloodless coup, destroying the Constitution in the process.
He hit out at New Zealand for not supporting his HRPP party and its involvement in the appointment of five temporary judges, after months of legal battles all lost by the HRPP.
Prime Minister Fiame Naomi Mata'afa said its more of the 'blame game' from Tuilaepa.
