Editor,

The Royal Commission is in the process of finalising its report and everyone has their own theory as to what happened, didn't happen, was supposed to happen... One would expect from all the errors, deficiencies and shortfalls identified; that causal factors will be determined, as well as contributory factors, and from that the required corrective and preventative actions recommended for implementation.

Foreign based organisations such as Global Integrity who only spend 5 minutes in Tonga, and then think they know the answer to all the ills, issues and problems in Tonga should refrain from sensationalism and making unqualified and unsubstantiated claims.

If you claim to promote "Integrity" then you should not pre-empt the 'due process'. As we say here in Samoa "Fai fai lemu" - which means "slow down and have patience".
