Siale ʻAtaongo Kaho, Lord Tuʻivakanō (born 15 January 1952[1]) is a Tongan politician who served as the prime minister of Tonga from 2010 to 2014.

[2] He ascended to the traditional Tongan noble title of Tuʻivakanō (literally: king of the borrowed boat) in January 1986 after the death of his father.

In 1991 he received a bachelor's degree with Honours in Political Science after three years of study at the Flinders University of South Australia.

[11][12][13][14] On 17 November 2011, Tuʻivakanō represented Tonga at the first meeting of the PLG, as prime minister in Apia, Samoa.

[15] Since his election Tuʻivakanō has continued Tonga's cooperation with the regional power of Australia, which is home to some 18,000 Tongans.

The false statement charge related to an incident in July 2015 when, with the purpose of obtaining a passport for Hua Guo and Xing Liu and with intent to deceive Immigration, Tu'ivakano wrote a letter stating that Hua Guo and Xing Liu were naturalized as Tongans in October 2014.

The gun and ammunition charges related to items found during a police search of Tu'ivakano's property in March 2018.

[18] In November 2020 an appeal saw him acquitted of perjury and making a false statement, but the conviction for possession of ammunition without a licence was upheld.
