- The American Samoa Senate is moving to reconstitute the Senate Select Investigative Committee (SSIC) to scrutinize government operations, financial conditions, and potential misconduct. The committee, chaired by Togiola T.A. Tulafono and vice-chaired by Magalei Logovi’i, is tasked with investigating unlawful actions, conflicts of interest, waste, fraud, abuse, and misappropriation of funds across all government departments, agencies, and enterprises, including the ASG-owned airplane’s operations. The SSIC is also mandated to adopt rules for its proceedings, conduct hearings, and subpoena witnesses and documents, aiming to expose and address financial mismanagement and corruption to restore public confidence.
