Here are a few suggestions. Put a time limit on registrations. In other words, each registration period should be for a period of five years before a change could be effected. Such a move will discourage the arbitrary nature of political considerations. The recent Supreme Court decision relating to the election petition by Muagututagata against Maulolo concerning the question of corrupt electoral practices is an important decision in my view because it attempts to distinguish between what constitutes custom, on the one hand, and corruption on the other.
Custom is practice, sanctioned by tradition meaning, it goes back a long time.
Or if not thrown out some customs merely change their form. For instance, the feagaiga no longer have the mana they used to enjoy. Instead they have compensated by making their tama tane look like simpletons in the academic and business worlds. Just take a look at the National University of Samoa, for instance. Of the five deans, four are female.
