 Here is an English translation of the letter by the Prime Minister, Tuilaepa Sa’ilele Malailegaoi, which was published in Samoan yesterday:
President of SUNGO
Thank you very much for your letter of 9 October 2009.
From my observation of representatives of your committee, the only thing your organisation focuses heavily on is to promote, and publicise yourselves and your faces and not taking the importance of your roles and plans as why your organisation was established.
Meaning you want to be known. This weakness is a sickness especially for you the President and the CEO, especially now the two of you are together in one organisation, no one can handle you – you are too heavy. You have no partners to try and stop you.
The previous managements were not like this. Discussions in pleasant vein continued construc
tively between me and the Minister for NGO’s - that is why the government buildings were easily given for you to use because of good and pleasant relations..
This time, your relationship with other organisations who are representatives of SUNGO, reflects the spirit of clash.
A lot of time is spent on debating unfounded issues and it stops help which should directly be taken to organisations.
It means the existence of your organisation of SUNGO brings lots of conflict and causes much delay. This assistance can be on time if the organisation deals directly with the donor, without you interfering.
I observed that you are trying to stop the assistance given to other NGOs and is founded on personal reasons which you the current CEO and president like to do. Previous managements were not like this. Maybe it’s because you two are too smart and high.
This causes you to authorise SUNGO and gives you the opportunity to show your manners which reflects the type of person you two are. I advise you to reassess your manners if you want to rebuild good relations with us because it’s totally destroyed.
This is my letter with love to all NGOs who went to SUNGO without understanding
Tuilaepa Lupesoliai Sa’ilele Malielegaoi
