Prime Minister Tuilaepa Sa’ilele Malielegaoi has one young enemy. That much we know. The young man is so unhappy with the Prime Minister’s behaviour he’s filmed himself saying some “emotionally distressful” stuff about Tuilaepa. For legal reasons, we cannot tell you what he said.
But as if filming his outrage wasn't enough, he then posted it on the internet for the world to see.
Yesterday, Assistant Police Commissioner Fauono Talalelei Tapu said the video clip has been brought to their attention.

They are investigating.
Meantime, Fauono said the clip appears to have been filmed on a mobile phone by the young person pretending to be a television presenter.
The Police suspect that the clip was filmed somewhere in Savai’i.
According to the Assistant Commissioner, the clip has appeared on the social media, including youtube and Facebook.
“The contents of the clip are emotionally distressful,” said Fauono. “They carry verbal harassment towards” the Prime Minister, he said.
Asked what actions they are likely to take, the Assistant Commissioner said the youth could be charged, once they locate him.
Fauono denied that the youth involved is from the village of the Prime Minister.
Instead, he said; “The village of Lepa has also lodged a complaint regarding this clip.”
The identity of the youth could not be ascertained at press time last night.
It was also impossible to confirm whether the Prime Minister has seen the clip.
Last week, Tuilaepa travelled to Brussels to chair an ACP Ministerial meeting.
