High Chief Pulu Ae Ae Jr. is committed to fighting government corruption in American Samoa. One of the most notable cases where he demonstrated this commitment was his legal battle against the American Samoa Government (ASG) in 2000. Pulu challenged the legality of poker machines being licensed and operated in the territory, standing firm against the growing issue of gambling, which he believed was a violation of federal law and harmful to the community.
Despite facing strong opposition, Pulu remained steadfast in his fight to hold the government accountable. His dedication to eliminating illegal gambling in American Samoa was a clear demonstration of his belief in Honest Governance. This case set a precedent for the importance of transparency and ethical leadership in the territory, and it is a reflection of Pulu’s enduring commitment to the people. Through his actions, Pulu has shown that he will not back down from challenging corruption and will always work to ensure that the government serves the people with integrity.
