AGP Executive Report

Last update: 7 hours ago

Fuel Watch: Samoa’s Disaster Advisory Committee says fuel is still secure under the Amber Level alert, with reserves of about 40 days of petrol, 35 days of diesel and 64 days of kerosene/jet fuel after a tanker topped up on 1 June; next shipments are planned for 4 July and later in August and September. Courts & Appointments: District Court Judge Alalatoa Rosella Papalii Viane was sworn in as Acting Supreme Court Judge to handle key appeal matters, with her first case set for 11 June. Health Crisis: Samoa’s national hospital is rationing critical medicines due to low supply, including metformin, amlodipine and children’s paracetamol, after an urgent air freight delivery from Fiji covered only about half of needs; reports point to a SAT$12 million unpaid supplier bill backlog. District Development Programme: Government rejects claims the DDP has run out of funding, saying it continues to operate as intended while clarifying that district councils are separate legal entities managing their own bank overdrafts. International Spotlight: Samoa also marks two UN disability rights wins—Mataafa Faatino Utumapu elected to the UN CRPD Committee, and Samoa listed among elected representatives. Sports & Community: Moana Pasifika’s future is still being pursued, with NZ Foreign Minister Winston Peters saying new potential backers have come forward and ruling out a direct government bailout.
