Corrupt PM Tuilaepa and HRPP's Corruption Linked to Assassination... (Part 2)

​Part 1 of this story was about the assassination of the late Hon. Luagalau Levaula Kamu at a HRPP celebration. The late MP Luagalau one of the new wave of MP who came thru with the intention to clean up corruption within the HRPP govt. The story continues.....

The late MP Vitale was the Minister of Public Works. While he was a Minister of govt, he established  a company  to carry out road works (fai auala) - the company was registered under his brother’s name.

While MP Vitale was the Minister of Public Works, another former HRPP Minister, Feti Toluono, was the Minister of EPC. He too had a construction company with his brother.  Most of the machinery used by MP Vitale and Feti Toluono’s privately owned companies, were imported under EPC’s account to avoid paying taxes and duties to the people. As for MP Toi Aukuso he was made the Minister of Communications.
 
 Both MP Vitale and MP Toi Aukuso were involved in stealing cows as well. The cattle were from overseas and were intended for the farmers here in Samoa. 

Corrupt PM Tuilaepa was aware of the corruption committed by his  Ministers, as he was receiving a big ‘cut’ from them.  When he realized his ‘cut’ was getting smaller and smaller, he deviced a plan to get back at them.
 
He decided to take the Public works portfolio from MP Vitale and gave it to the late MP Luagalau instead. This was his way of getting back at both Vitale and Aukuso and to shake them up a bit because they short-changed him.  
 
 
Corrupt PM Tuilaepa did the same thing with MP Liuga. MP Liuga committed corruption in Samoa Land Corporation (SLC) and corrupt PM Tuilaepa received a big cut from it too.  But when corrupt PM Tuilaepa  realized his  cut got smaller and smaller, he turned to his  son in law/Chief Auditor, Papalii Camillo Afele, and ordered him to audit SLC and make sure some of the corruption committed there was mentioned in his report.  

This was corrupt PM Tuilaepa’s  way to have his cut increased again by way of blackmailing MP Liuga  with the Chief Auditor’s report, however, he knew he would step in to cover up MP Liuga’s corruption.  That’s why MP Liuga did not have a care in the world because he knew the head of the main snake’s intention was not about cleaning up corruption but blackmail.  Corrupt PM Tuilaepa’s ‘cut’ was increased again; the corruption was covered up and is the reason why the Chief Auditor’s report was never tabled in Parliament.

The money they received from their ‘cuts’ did not include the money they made from overseas money laundered thru SIFA. Till this day no one knows exactly how much profit SIFA had made from money laundering   because all of corrupt PM Tuilaepa’s children  who hold jobs in the Ministry of Finance and Treasury as well as his son in law who is the Chief Auditor, were cooking the books – they still are today.  

  Back to MP Vitale and MP Toi Aukuso...

During the court case, the court house was filled with both the defendant’s families on one side and the victim’s family on the other.

Both defendants were found guilty of murder and were sentenced to be hanged. However,  the late Head of State Malietoa stepped in and signed the clemency to spare the two but to send them to die in jail instead. Even the wife/widow of the late MP Luagalau Kamu made a plea to spare the lives of her husband’s killers, as she was a daughter of a church minister.

Despite the sentence and the evidence presented against the 2 defendants, they both believed they were innocent.  Both defendants also admitted during their trial that the reason why corrupt PM Tuilaepa replaced Vitale as Minister of Public Works with MP Luagalau and moved him to the Ministry of Women Affairs was because he (corrupt PM)  wasn’t satisfied with the ‘cut’ he was getting as he expected more.

When Toi Aukuso was led to the police car, he called out that he was not guilty, “I’m not guilty, I’m not guilty, I’m not guilty!”

Of course he would say that as he knew the head of the snake was still the PM of the nation and he would do whatever it takes to protect himself and to cover any tracks that would lead back to him.

MP Vitale and MP Toi Aukuso were corrupt PM Tuilaepa’s right hand men back then and that’s why they always held Ministerial positions  – no different to how MP Liuga was corrupt PM Tuilaepa’s right hand man not long ago.

Today, corrupt PM Tuilaepa has  4 HRPP Ministers (which include 3 new MPs) as his henchmen to carry out and continue his dirty works. They include MP Tialavea Tionisio Hunt  (Minister of Revenue and Minister of Prisons and Rehabilitations) and the new 3 stooges -   MP Afamasaga Rico Tupai (Minister of Communication and Information Technology and MP Liuga’s son in law), MP Loau Keneti Sio (Minister MESCS) and MP Sili Epa  Tuioti (Minister of Finance, SIFA, etc).  

At the end of the day, corrupt PM Tuilaepa used the late MP Luagalau as a pawn in his dirty and corrupt games  -  the late MP Luagalau (like the people  today) literally became a victim of corrupt PM Tuilaepa and HRPP’s corrupt politics.

Did HRPP and the people learn anything from it? NO – they did not.

The corruption today is worse than it was back then, as today it is evident that more and more people are living in poverty and struggling as a result of it. That is why I continue to call this corrupt HRPP nothing more than a bunch of aivalea corrupt fools!

The scorch of this govt’s corruption has spread thru society like wildfire and the people accepted it as normal. This corruption is the reason why everything  that corrupt PM Tuilaepa  touches turns to ashes because the innocent blood on his hands  has not dried yet.
