Samoa’s new prime minister has been busy ever since she was finally allowed to take office last week.
In late July, a Samoan appeals court confirmed Fiamē Naomi Mata-afa the leader of the new Faʻatuatua i le Atua Samoa ua Tasii party, or FAST as the country’s new prime minister, since being sworn in during an ad-hoc tent ceremony in May. The confirmation brings to a close a dramatic political stalemate that left the small Pacific island nation without a leader for some three months.
