Between the Lines
GUNS
The gun amnesty is on and if you have illegal firearms, please surrender them or get them registered. The recent incident in Savaii is evident that we do not need firearms in this country.
SPEED CAMERAS
Speed and red light cameras should be the next investment for the authorities. Not only will they stop offenders but also prevent accidents.
AVAILABLE WORK
There is employment opportunity that the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment can provide. The law is there, hire people to be litter enforcement officers to fine litterbugs.
EXPLOITATION
It is sad to see families using children even as young as two years old to sell things on the streets. While the children sell items, parents sit a distance away.
MINIMUM WAGE
Have the authorities responsible for checking on minimum wage started doing their rounds? There are still reports that some employees are not being paid their dues.
SPORTING BONANZA
The sporting bonanza for the nation is ongoing. After the recent success of the two football tournaments, the nations is getting ready to host a regional cricket championship.
