Lilomaiava Fou Taioalo has made the claim of unlawful termination against the Office of the Attorney General and members of a Commission of Inquiry, which recommended to Cabinet that he sacked.
Lilomaiava’s lawyer, Diana Roma, told the Sunday Samoan they were still waiting for a response from the mediation officer, to set a mediation date. Lilomaiava, who among other roles managed Tafa’igata Prison, was suspended for more than a year to allow a Commission of Inquiry to investigate him.
The Commission of Inquiry was chaired by Ombudsman Maiava Iulai Toma, with Gatoloai Tili Afamasaga and Su’a Tanielu as members.
A second Commission of Inquiry recommended Cabinet terminate Lilomaiava’s services.
His lawsuit alleges unlawful termination of his services, as well as damage to his reputation.
