‘Women have not been able hold these: Samoa’s first female PM gets down to the job

After months of political turmoil, following the country's most contentious election, Fiama Naomi Mata'afa is ready to get to work

The prime minister's office in Apia, the capital of Samoa, which overlooks the harbour, has just been vacated by the man who held the job for 22 years.

The bookshelves are still empty, but the room is filled with bunches of flowers, sent by well-wishers keen to congratulate the new incumbent.
