Annette N Ryan Reyes, e kala mai. I'm presently working on matters of state so answering questions on Civil Beat has an understandably low priority.

to answer your question, the Hawaiian Kingdom Constitution requires the government to be fully formed with the executive, legislative and judicial bodies in place before the process of selecting a new mo'i can commence. Governance has specific priorities, procedures and protocols established by the constitution which is the law of the land.

We shall select a new mo'i and kuhina nui according to the laws that are carefully laid out in the constitution. to do otherwise is not pono,

this will be my last reply on this topic as I have far more important matters of state to deal with. mahalo for your questions. questions like yours are a good exercise in testing my ability and my aptitude for leadership. mahalo piha.
