A daughter of Tonga’s Prime Minister, Akilisi Pohiva has described as disrespectful the alleged theft of two decorative lights from her mother’s grave.
The incident occurred four days after the body of Tonga’s First Lady, Neomai Tu’itupou Pohiva was buried on 19 December.
According to Kaniva News, PM Pohiva’s daughter ‘Ana Koli Fifita said the family had decided not to lodge a complaint with the Police.
She said if such robbery had happened while her mother was still alive Neomai would not complain, implying she was a woman who had a great sense of patience.
Fifita said she regretted this kind of disrespectful behaviour.
The lights were put on the grave by Pohiva’s grandchildren in honour of their late grandmother.
Neomai, 70, died after a long battle with cancer.
