priority

Tonga goes to elections on 18th November with 74 candidates registered.

Sione Fonua, who was to stand in Tongatapu 2, says he withdrew to make it easier for a new candidate to come through.

Figures indicate the drug problem is going from bad to worse, with more than half the activity in the country's courts involving drug offences.

Mr Fonua says the current parliamentary line up is not treating the drug problem as a priority.

PICPA has accordingly been providing higher-level strategic advice and training in the area of Leadership Development.

One such activity was a two-day Leadership Development Seminar for senior Government officials in Kiribati, from 8-9 March 2016 at the PSO boardroom in Bairiki, Tarawa.

The workshop convened by Professor Franco Gandolfi, the Dean of Faculty of Business and Economics (FBE).
