The Samoa Supreme Court s Final Warning

By Fuimaono Dylan Asafo Opinion - law lecturer Dylan Asafo argues the Samoan Supreme Court has issued a final warning to caretaker prime minister, Tuila epa Sa ilele Malielegaoi. Photo: 123RF Yesterday, the Supreme Court held that the swearing-in ceremony held by the FAST party on 24 May 2021 was unconstitutional and unlawful. In my view, a proper reading of the Supreme Court s judgement follows that the swearing-in ceremony is unconstitutional and unlawful, but only on one condition: that parliament meets within the next 7 days without any other attempts by Tuilaepa, the Head of State, the (former) Speaker, the Clerk of the Legislative Assembly, the 24 elected HRPP members and the Office of the Attorney General to prevent the peaceful transition of power.

Opinion: FAST-led govt did not carry out a coup

Fuimaono Dylan Asafo Opinion - In my view, the first meeting of the new parliament on the afternoon of Monday 24 May 2021, which included the swearing-in of Fiame Naomi Mataafa as the Prime Minister of Samoa (along with the swearing-in of the Speaker, Cabinet Ministers, and elected members) was constitutional in light of the extraordinary circumstances Samoa was facing. In other words, the FAST-led government did not carry out a coup , but rather they acted in a way which was necessary to prevent one. It is best to first address the claims made by the Office of the Attorney-General alleging that the swearing-in ceremony was unconstitutional .
