Va’ulu Mulifusi Togafau of the Accident Compensation Corporation welcomed the guests while Pastor Kitiona Tolovale of the Pentecostal Church in Vaitele blessed the vehicle.

Ms. Petelo said the car was bought from Turkey.

“We (Ford Samoa) are delighted that the Accident Compensation Corporation trusted us with getting this car here for them.”

Few rehab victims were also present to witness the handover ceremony.

Va’aulu said the vehicle is an important development for the Corporation.
