FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE ATTORNEY FOR KALA FAMILY SAYS DHHL LEASE UNLAWFUL KALA’S GO TO COURT JUNE 2ND, 2014 AND HEIR TO LAND COMES FORTH May 29th, 2014 On June 2nd, 2014 Ira Kala, represented by Burton D. Gould, Esq. of Maui, Wailuku, Hawai’i seek to reverse a ruling by Judge Blaine Kobayashi granting summary judgment and a writ of possession to the Department of Hawaiian Homelands for the Kala leasehold property at 82 Kaulana Na Pua Circle in Waiehu. “There is no lawful, reasonable excuse or explanation for the Trustee, DHHL,[Department of Hawaiian Homelands] to treat this disabled family with five minor children in such a truly deplorable manner, especially when the Trustee itself and the RDA [Rural Development Agency] are responsible for creating the conditions, resulting in this abuse.” says Burton D. Gould, attorney for Ira Kala, in a pleading to Judge Kobayashi to be heard on Monday June 2nd at 9:30 a.m. in the District Court, courtroom 3C, at the Wailuku Courthouse on Main Street in Wailuku. “..the Kala lease was cancelled improperly. The Kala’s actual financial hardship condition was never genuinely acknowledged and Kala and his family were abused procedurally by those responsible for ensuring the safe, proper and lawful implementation of such lease agreement….There are serious issues pertaining to the Kala lease, the RDA loan, the house value, the violation of Mr. Kala’s rights as pertains to the cancellation of his lease, and the title to the land itself which constitutes Mr. Kala’s leasehold property.” Mr. Kala and his wife Kellyann Kala are the parents of four children and take care of two foster children, who are 3 years and 9 months old. Mrs. Kala has recently returned to work driving school bus for Roberts Bus, after having to care for her husband who suffered congestive heart failure and had gone into a coma due to too much iron in his oxygen tank, according to the Maui Memorial Hospital treating doctor. The Kala family contend that they have always been willing to pay what they could afford and that DHHL knew they were “high risk” when they were offered their lease. Mr. Gould states that the Rural Development Agency who gave them their loan failed to properly adjust it according to their own rules, after the circumstances changed in the Kala family due to a decrease in income and life threatening health issues. Also Mr. Gould says in his pleading that the lease itself was not executed properly and the house itself is made of “paper”. “The value of the house construction, and the price which Kala is forced to pay for such “affordable housing”, reveals either egregious mismanagement by DHHL, the Trustee, or outright fraudulent business practices which involve a State Agency, which is a Trustee of the Hawaiian Homelands, the RDA, which is a Federal Agency and Dowling Company, which is a private construction company.” And if that weren’t enough, it has come to the Kala’s attention that a legitimate heir to William Lunalilo’s Estate has come forth, on behalf of the Kala’s to claim his rightful ownership interest in the land upon which the Kala leasehold resides. Edward Kakalia was confirmed by Land Court case 439 (amended to 09-0300) to be an heir to Kanaina and to Kahonu who is Lunalilo’s natural father Kanaina’s nephew. Mr. Kakalia defeated a summary judgment motion recently by Kahoma in Kahoma vs. Heirs of Kanaina in a contested land case which has been going on since 1919. Edward Kakalia recently demonstrated to the Land Court that the purported deed from Kanaina to King Kalakaua; through which Pioneer Mill claimed its ownership interest, was a fraudulent deed, because his great-great-great grandfather Kanaina died 27 years before he purportedly signed the “deed”.

Kakalia will also be in court on Monday, in support of the Kala Ohana. He is prepared to deed his interest in the land, on which the Kala’s reside, to Ira Kala. “The Kamehamehas’ are coming”, Kakalia said, who is also the fifth great grandson of Kamehameha III. “It is time to reclaim for our people what belongs to them. There are Kamehamehas today who are seeking ways to help our people. This is first step, and one of many to come.” Burton D. Gould, Esq. will be holding a brief press conference, in the courthouse, immediately following the hearing at District Court at 9:30 a.m. on this coming Monday June 2nd, 2014.
