To’oala hails from the villages of Moataa, Levili, Iva, Malaefiliga Faga, and Fagamalo Savai’i. Her strong Christian faith, work ethic and extensive expertise, coupled with her dynamic leadership style, has been instrumental in ensuring MPE fulfils its vital monitoring role.

The Ministry for Public Enterprises was established in 2015. It was previously a division (State Owned Monitoring Division – SOEMD) within the Ministry of Finance.
Its mandate includes providing corporate advice to Public Bodies such that they are profitable, while at the same time able to deliver efficient services to the public.
The Ministry looks forward to Tooala’s continuous leadership and dedication.
