All residents of Mwoakilloa, from children to elders, were at the beach to give Mori and his party, a jubilant island-style welcome under the auspices of the island chief magistrate, Onio Edmond, and one of the nation’s founding fathers, Bethwel Henry.
Bethwel Henry underscored how appreciative the island was to Mori for “bringing the executive branch, your office, to Mwoakilloa.”
Mori said the purpose of his trip was to bring the government closer to the people, to meet with the outer island residents and discuss important government issues.
After the official meeting, Mori and his delegation were given a tour of the island by state Sen. Ishmael Lebehn, before being treated to a feast at the local elementary school.
