The Prime Minister Hon. ‘Akilisi Pohiva and six Cabinet Ministers are dodging the process of impeachment by the Tongan Parliament during its 2018-19 session. By obstructing the reading of a critical Auditor General's report yesterday - and with the House closing for the year tomorrow - the government is stalling a serious challenge to its financial integrity. From the House by Pesi Fonua.

This is bound to happen
This is bound to happen sooner than later. There are only two ways to remove a leader from power, either peacefully or by force. If he goes willingly good but if he refuses and resists than there is bound to be bloodshed and it'll be on his head.
If the Premier and the Ministers accused are found wanting, than for the love of Pete Go!, Go! and let others take over, maybe they'll do a better job. A major problem with some people in Government is that they are what's known as "Kicking down and kissing up" people. There is no need for a revolution to topple a Government. Tonga is a small country and everyone is closely related so for something like a riot to break out of control and to be put down with force would be catastrophic, No we don't want that, we want a peaceful transition of Government through the ballot box. Unless Pushed To The Limit ?????
