The JAWS President Rudy Bartley said he is surprised after years of planning and millions of Australian aid dollars spent on the Fono building that no one thought of a media gallery.
He has suggested Samoa could ask Fiji for help on how to set up a media gallery.
The comments come after it was revealed the media were banned from Parliament at the recent session to table the government budget for the financial year 2020/2021.
The media were shown to a tent to listen to proceedings but without a television set to watch a live feed.
