Between the Lines

FAST HANDS

The hand is indeed faster than the eye can see, but sometimes things are caught on camera. A green note was slipped into the shirt pocket of a remanded prisoner by an elected official after last Friday’s court case. All of this was caught on camera.

REASONS

People returned from district offices have not been offered any reasons why they ran out of money. If the allocation was calculated according to the number of people, where has the anomaly arisen from?

CUT COSTS

The government should be the first to initiate fuel and cost cutting measures to lead by example. Experts say the impact will be felt soon.

COURTHOUSE

The cases continue at the courthouse which is said to be more than 70 per cent compromised because of leaks in the roof. A substantial allocation has been made but no word on the construction yet. As an employer, the government needs to consider the safety of its staff.

SKELETON

Who did the skeletal remains found in Aleisa belong to? The police had said that they would be conducting DNA tests. Could it be the escaped prisoner?

GAS

The price of gas, the one used for cooking, is also going up. Reports have suggested the increase to be as much as 30 per cent. Some people have suggested going back to the old days of cooking on open fire stoves.
