Ahute Lakatasari is the National Speaker of Pa'atua. He is also a practicising surgeon, one of the only two in the country.
He studied medicine abroad, at the Pacitalian campus of the Third World Open University, making him one of the few university-educated (and "Western"-educated) people in Pa'atua.
It was largely because of these qualifications, and his knowledge of the outside world, that the national Fono appointed Lakatasari to the position of National Speaker. His solid knowledge of national indigenous custom was also a factor.
It was Lakatasari who put out a plea for international aid to help cope with the climate change crisis in Pa'atua.
