The village of Salani, Falealili, rolled out the red carpet with a traditional ava ceremony fit for a king to welcome the former Head of State, His Highness Tui Atua Tupua Tamasese Efi and the Masiofo, Filifilia Tamasese, on Saturday.

The ava ceremony opened the meeting requested by the Aiga Sa Fenunuivao, who wanted to hear Tui Atua's views on the three  bills currently before Parliament, proposing major changes to the Judiciary and the Land and Titles Court. The bills in question are the Constitutional Amendment Bill 2020, Land and Titles Bill 2020 and the Judicature Bill 2020.
