Associate Ministers to be sworn-in Friday

Twenty-one Associate Ministers will be sworn-in to office Friday morning at Tiafau.

According to Prime Minister Tuilaepa Sailele Malielegaoi, the list of associate ministers was discussed and finalized at a special Cabinet meeting yesterday afternoon.

“The 21 associate ministers will be allocated to 13 government departments,” said the Prime Minister.

“Under the (Parliamentary) Act which establishes the post of Associate Minister, they will work together with the (Cabinet) minister designate.

“The Associate Minister gets his assignments from the Cabinet minister designated to that ministry, which means, he (Associate Minister) cannot make direct instructions to the ministry.

“This is to maintain proper working relationships between the Minister and Associate Minister and the organisation involved.”
