Affairs while workers were overseas were 'not a major problem' the interim minister of labour Lautafi Fio Selafi Purcell said, but the numbers should be prevented from escalating, Newsline Samoa reported.
Lautafi said if the issue continued then his ministry would review the seasonal worker programme and only single workers may end up being recruited.
He said those who had affairs away from home had given the programme a bad name, but the government was copping the blame for breaking up families.
