Suspended Chief Executive Officer of the Ministry of works, Transport and Infrastructure has now had his contract terminated after Cabinet endorsed a recommendation by the Public Service Commission (PSC).
The Samoa Observer newspaper reported that Prime Minister Tuilaepa Sailele Malielegaoi announced the termination of Afamasaga Su’a Pou Onesemo for breach of contract.
Afamasaga was placed on suspension in June of this year to allow the police and PSC to investigate allegations of impropriety leveled at the the C.E.O. by a former Member of Parliament of the Government of India, Sh.P.K. Bansal and his company Ascent Navals.
Afamasaga strongly rejected the allegations.
Tuilaepa said the decision by the Commission follows findings of the investigations that he breached his contract and breached values of honesty.
