Vanuatu govt says all its workers must be vaccinated; Samoa lifts ban on travellers from American Samoa, and more.
The former chair of the Vanuatu Public Service, Martin Mahe is alleging conspiracy by the Prime Minister Bob Loughman over his termination. Mr Mahe was sacked in May last year after a request to the Vanuatu president by Mr Loughman, who was the Minister in charge of the Public Service Commission. Martin Mahe had only been in the position a month before he was sacked. He claimed Mr Loughman didn't follow the Public Service Act which says the president can only sack the commission chair if he or she has been convicted of a criminal offence that carries a sentence of at least a year.
