Opinion - law lecturer Dylan Asafo argues the Samoan Court of Appeal has made an incorrect decision in making its ruling about how the law protects the proportion of women in the Samoan parliament.

Yesterday, the Court of Appeal (CA) ruled that Article 44(1A) of the Constitution requires that six women should sit in Parliament. With all due respect, I believe that that the CA s decision was incorrect.
This is on the grounds that the CA have overreached their powers by encroaching on the law-making powers of parliament and have made an unpragmatic (or impractical) decision that has now prolonged and further complicated Samoa s constitutional crisis.
Despite the constitutional crisis surrounding them, the people of Samoa are calm and collected – instilling their trust in the constitution and having faith that, in due course, they will have a government to lead them.
