Samoan MPs' resignation 'unprecedented'
Updated
The Samoan Government faces turmoil following the resignation of two MPs from the ruling Human Rights Protection Party. Palusalue Fa'apo and Muagututi'a Siaosi Meredith oppose the government's plans to switch the driving code to the left-side of the road, and the planned import of right-hand-drive vehicles from New Zealand. The two MPs argue the switch will be dangerous and expensive. The HRPP is pushing ahead with its controversial plan, and more resignations are expected, with some analysts even predicting the downfall of the government.
Presenter: Barbara Heggen
