Faumuina Tiatia Liuga

Faumuina Tiatia Faaolatane Liuga (19 September 1945 – March 2025) was a Samoan politician and former Cabinet Minister. He was a member of the Human Rights Protection Party.

Faumuina was born in Papa i Palauli and educated at Leulumoega Fou College Malua in Samoa. He was re-elected in 2006 and appointed Minister of Natural Resources & Environment. In 2007 he chaired the Pacific Games.

On 16 May 2013 Faumuina survived a caucus vote after fellow members of his party complained of mismanagement and misuse of funds. In April 2014, Faumuina resigned, after some twenty years in Cabinet, following "allegations of abuse in the performance of his ministerial duties". Prime Minister Malielegaoi took over the Finance portfolio himself. Faumuina was subsequently appointed Associate Minister for Natural Resources and Environment.

In March 2016, in the leadup to the 2016 election, Faumuina was banished from his village after successfully challenging the eligibility of paramount chief Le Tagaloa Pita, who wished to run against him. After he was re-elected he ran for deputy leader of the HRPP, but was defeated by Fiame Naomi Mata'afa in a caucus vote. He was not appointed to Cabinet.

Liuga lost his seat at the 2021 election.

Liuga died in March 2025, at the age of 79.
