AGP Executive Report

Last update: 3 hours ago

Climate Finance: Prime Minister Lord Fakafanua says the Pacific Resilience Facility is US$320 million short of its US$500 million target, despite fresh pledges from regional and international partners. The fund is designed to support community-led climate projects. By-elections: Relatives of two former Tongan ministers have won the parliamentary seats their family members lost after court rulings over election spending and bribery. Alvin Lafu Sika took Tongatapu 2, while ‘Aminiasi Tangimana won Niua 17. Organised Crime: Tonga has used its Counter Terrorism and Transnational Crimes Act for the first time, convicting Australian deportee Eneasi Taumoefolau over an attempt to establish a Comancheros chapter. He faces up to 25 years in prison.
