$60

A bus driver on a long trip told a passenger that he did not know how to give change when a $60 note was presented. The Independence Day note has not been seen so much lately. Hopefully, people do realise that it is still a legal tender.

PARK

The rundown park that used to be at Malaifatu is no longer there. The gift from New Zealand had deteriorated, and none of the government ministries wanted to spend money to fix what was once an area for children to play. Perhaps, our donor partners would build another one.

GRUDGE

Ministers should not let personal grudges come in the way of someone’s performance, based on merit. Yet another honest civil servant was denied his right because the minister did not like him. Where are we going?

GIFTS

The district grants can only be used for items highlighted in the guidelines. One district used its money to buy hampers for Mother’s Day. If grants can be used as handouts, gifts can be allowed as well.

SUSPECTS

Within hours after the leader was asked as to why no more pictures of drug suspects were being published, pictures of seven or eight individuals went up. Just a reminder that some of the so-called publicised suspects have been acquitted.
