EXIT

Word in the corridors of power of the exit of a top bureaucrat following multiple investigations. Community organisations won’t be happy to hear about the exit.  

DRINKS

A club’s recent opening in Apia saw a political heavy and the Chair of a State entity have drinks until 3 am, keeping the host up until the wee hours. Must be the freebies.

Whispers of last week’s Cabinet reshuffle catching some MPs off guard. Apparently, the changes haven’t gone down well with some founding party members. 

FALEOLO

Any truth in reports that the aircraft downgrade to narrow-body planes could impact Samoa’s taro exports? Someone should be held accountable if true.

Interesting times for the organisers of the other ‘pageant’. Refusal by authorities to let them be a national event has really got them into a tight spot.

HUSH

A lot of hush-hush at the presser too, they couldn’t even name the number of entrants, or details of the selection criteria. Did they get too far ahead of themselves?
