Between the Lines
BRIBES
Taking bribes has never been so dangerous. Even those offering are not scared to video record the whole saga, even if they are breaking the law themselves. The amazing power of likes.
LONG LINES
There were long lines at banks and financial institutions this week. The faithful of the biggest denomination are scampering around collecting money for their annual levy. Most families have been ordered to pay $2,000.
DROP OUT
Quite a few students of the local university have dropped out because they are unable to afford the fees. No solutions offered for this problem yet.
SEARCHED
A family who moved into a rental property was shocked to see a bunch of boys in blue enter their premises looking for someone who was selling drugs. Even more shocking was the forceful entry.
PLANES
Two new planes by the end of 2026, and the diaspora will be dishing out $500 each from their pockets for it. The plan has stayed its course. The wait is now on for collecting the money. Will it be the official government finance team doing the collection?
EXPORTS
Once, a cabinet minister spoke about exporting cattle to Pago based on the reasoning that it would be bought in American dollars. Great vision exporting beef to a nation with one quarter of our population and with American standards governing agricultural exports.
