Tonga broadcaster angered by Rugby World Cup claim

The claims were made by MP, Mateni Tapueluelu.

The TBC's general manager, Nanise Fifita, says the claims are damaging because the broadcaster is trying to raise money around the country to make the payments.

Ms Fifita says the government cannot meet all the costs and the TBC is approaching businesses and the general public to help find thousands of pa'anga.
