AGP Executive Report

Last update: 3 hours ago

Electricity & transport accountability: Former Education Minister Loau Keneti Sio is pushing for two separate Commissions of Inquiry—one into EPC generator failures and power outages, and another into a $20m catamaran boat that has yet to arrive in Samoa. Public safety: A 41-year-old man has been arrested after a viral video showed him shooting and damaging a streetlight in Vaitele Fou, with police warning against reckless firearm use. Fuel crisis & renewables: Pacific energy experts say the region must speed up locally led renewable energy, arguing emergency fuel fixes aren’t enough and lessons from past oil shocks were ignored. Air travel update: Qantas launched its inaugural Faleolo–Auckland service with 95 passengers, adding to Air New Zealand and Fiji Airways as Samoa Airways plans continue. Tourism shift: Prime Minister Schmidt says Teuila Tourism Festival Week will be replaced by Samoa Arts & Culture Week in September. Culture & sport: Samoa confirmed it will participate in EXPO 2027 Belgrade under “Rhythms of Samoa,” while Manu Samoa halfback Melani Matavao says he’s ready to seize his Rugby World Cup chance.
