Kaleo Manuel, right, becomes emotional while gathering with supporters inside the Kalanimoku building on Thursday. Late Wednesday DLNR said it was “re-deploying” Manuel, DLNR’s first deputy, from his role at the Commission on Water Resource Management. “This deployment does not suggest that First Deputy Manuel did anything wrong,” a statement from DLNR said. “DLNR encourages the media and the public to avoid making judgments until all the facts are known.”
