Tonga's first Ombudsman, ‘Aisea Taumoepeau SC is set to retire from the role on 18 February, after nine-years of service.

This was revealed during a visit last week by New Zealand's Chief Ombudsman and 2nd Vice President of the International Ombudsman Institute, Peter Boshier, when he hosted a special farewell event, on 1 February, stated MEIDECC.

Mr Boshier recognized his outstanding service for the Tonga office of the Ombudsman and the wide Ombudsman community in the Pacific region.

The relationship between New Zealand and Tonga’s Ombudsman offices has continued to grow over the years particularly under the leadership of Ombudsman Taumoepeau.

Taumoepeau is a former Attorney General and Minister of Justice. He was initially appointed as Ombudsman on 24 October 2014 for five-years, which was extended to run to this month.
