10:40 am on 13 June 2016

A new boss has been appointed for Samoa's beleaguered land corporation.

Last week, cabinet endorsed the appointment of Ulugia Petelo as the corporation's new general manager. He will replace Afoa Arasi Tiotio.

The corporation has been embroiled in controversy since a Chief Auditor's report two years ago found evidence of corruption and mismanagement.

Meanwhile, To'oto'ole'a'ava Dr Fanaafi Aiono Le Tagaloa, a lawyer, will become the first female chief executive of the Samoa International Finance Authority.
