At yesterday’s cabinet meeting, the last with directors who served the Lolo Lemanu Government in their first term in office, Governor Lolo Moliga said January 3rd is not a holiday except that schools will not be in session that day.
He said employees should be encouraged to attend the swearing in ceremonies.
Staff at the Governor’s Office say a skeletal program for the swearing in of the governor and lt governor has been drawn up but it will go through revisions before it can be released.
The law states that the swearing in takes place at noon on January 3rd.
That’s also the same time and date that the Fono will be sworn in.
