PM-elect Fiame Naomi Mata'afa

Samoa Law Society says PM-elect Fiame Naomi Mata'afa has law on her side

President of the Samoa Law Society, Komisi Koria, said the recent rulings handed down by the Supreme Court when it comes to the constitution showed this.

“As far as the law is concerned and the supreme law of the land in this country, she has the support of the law in terms of her claims to be Prime Minister,” Leiataualesa said.

The Human Rights Protection Party's appeal against a critical Supreme Court ruling, is due to be heard this week.
