HiloPuna,
Kenoi doesn't have to play to the cameras. Just be a mayor and tell everyone what's happening and how he is control of the situation. Let us know what help is on the way and what help he is organising. He's in charge for gawd's sake.
Someone posted his twitter feed earlier and I saw there was a considerable gap between his tweets before and after the storm. 3 days. I'm sure he had power back well within those three days.
You know, I run an organisation, not an island, but when we have problems the first things I do is communicate to all those affected by any means I can. Today I was told by an employee that they no longer have internet access but still have a phone, so I called them by phone to give an update. Then I called everyone by phone to give the latest info I had and also communicated by email. I didn't stop until I knew everyone I had to speak to had heard from me.
I don't see that happening from the mayor's office, and the tweets he's been posting are just announcements other organisations have made. And people without power or communications can't see them, that's if they even knew they should check twitter.
Kenoi should be communicating with the public anyway he can find and he is not doing so.
Edited to add: No, I'm not asking him to call everyone, just realised some would take my analogy literally. He should be leading the relief effort and informing as many as he can by whatever means works, and that isn't happening.
