Tonga Ombusdman dismisses all but one of newspaper's claims

The Ombudsman, 'Aisea Taumoepeau, in a media conference in Nuku'alofa this week reported findings based on its own investigations into a series of allegations raised by the Kele'a.

Only one out of the six stories published by the newspaper was found to be valid.

This concerned the purchase in 2014 of the ship MV St Theresa, that was renamed MV Niuvakai, from privately owned Royal Pacific Shipping.
