Naʻe lea ʻa Lāpai ʻEiki Sonatane Siaki (1948–2020), ko e lāpai pule mālōlō ʻo Pilitāniá, ʻo kau ki haʻane ʻalu ki ha feʻauhi soka ʻi he Malaʻe Vaʻinga Haipeulí (malaʻe ʻo e timi ʻAsenoló) mo e ʻalekipīsope ʻo Kenitapeulí.

ʻE lava ke fakamatalaʻi ʻa e vaʻinga ʻo e moʻuí ʻi he ngaahi lea ko ʻeni naʻe fakahoko ʻe Palesiteni Kōtoni B.
