Samoan Prime Minister Tuilaepa Sailele Malielegaoi has dismissed the high-tech fautasis owned by some villages in American Samoa saying that they are actually not fautasi.

“They are no different from high-tech yachts built by pouring liquid plastic into moulds to form the body of the boat when it hardens and the moulds have been taken off,” said Tuilaepa in his weekly radio program 2AP ma le Palemia.

The Supreme Court in Samoa has upheld the Samoa government Trust Estates Corporation strike out motion against a land compensation claim of around 25 million US dollars by Satapuala village council.

The same ruling has also struck out the Alii and Faipule or village council claim for the return of more than eight thousand acres of land situated at Faleolo opposite the international airport.

The village matais claimed that the disputed land, was unlawfully sold during the German and New Zealand administrations.
