Between the Lines

EUROPE

A cabinet minister is taking quite a trip, trotting around Europe. He was spotted in Paris and then in London. The trip must be very important for Samoa.

FISHY

The one dog with the police suddenly suffers from a ‘drug’ overdose after catching two large shipments of meth. What has the probe revealed so far?

QUESTIONS

“Why is the PM always fronting the media to answer questions? Are his ministers with these portfolios not up to the job?” This is a reader’s query sent through email.

LANES

The $14 million road project connecting to the South Coast was supposed to be four lanes. That’s what residents claim. Apparently, the pictures they were shown had four lanes.

TENDERS

Is it a normal practice to award separate tenders for road works and a separate one for the drainage work in the same area? In most places, both go hand-in-hand.

VALUE

Depreciation is when the value of assets drops as years go by. Only in Samoa, that principle does not apply in garage sales, used car sales and furniture sales. Used items are being sold at prices they were bought for.
