Representatives Call for the Suspension of Samoa Agreement Implementation
The Deputy Speaker arrived to preside over the first plenary session of the week, where lawmakers promptly addressed matters of urgent national importance. This began with the troubling, recurrent queues at petrol stations in parts of the country. The House resolved to conduct a forensic investigation into the resurgence of fuel queues, the alleged indiscriminate issuance of licenses for the importation of PMS, the importation of substandard petroleum products, and the failure of regulators to perform their duties.
The House then directed its attention to the controversial agreement signed by the federal government with a European entity. The agreement's purported promotion of gender equality is seen as a Trojan Horse, deceptively introducing various forms of immorality into the country. Gender is no longer limited to the traditional understanding of male and female; it now encompasses homosexuality, lesbianism, transgenderism, and animalism.

The debate emphasized that there are no separate rights for lesbians or gays; it is a matter of human rights, environmental protection, and trade agreements. The sentiment was expressed that if the agreement exists, it should be presented openly. The discussion then focused on the core issues, with a call to dismiss and forget the controversial aspects of the agreement.
Furthermore, the federal government's entry into an agreement should involve Parliament, as mandated by Section 12 of the Constitution. The resolution to suspend the agreement's implementation was adopted, and the House tasked its relevant committees to liaise with the federal government to clarify all ambiguities in the agreement. A bill aimed at enhancing women's participation in politics by amending the Constitution to provide special seats for women sparked an intense debate among lawmakers. Political parties already offer incentives for women, such as free or discounted nomination forms, prompting further discussion on the matter.
