Between the Lines
OBSTACLE
According to the Art of War, communication and enemy resources are disabled or destroyed to overpower them. In a political war, people in key positions who would become an obstacle to plans are removed. Who’s next?
BRIDGES
The constant overflowing of fords is a reminder that bridges are needed. This may not be achieved through district office money. That one is being used for other purposes than what it was intended for.
PENALISED
What village penalised its elected official for not releasing funds to pay the $150 back to school support? The chiefs want their money, one way or another.
NAME CHANGE
People who do not have children or dependents in school have also received the $150. Some have suggested changing the name of the initiative to ‘free moolah for all', while some suggested calling it ‘pocket money initiative.’
ALCOHOL
There is no sale of alcohol on Friday and Sunday according to the government notice. Also, selling hours have been shortened by an hour for Thursday and Saturday. It is amazing how alcohol can still be bought on the ‘dry days’.
AFFECTED
The impact of Manu Samoa 7s not being part of the top-tier competition has also impacted sevens viewership in the country. Many say that to watch sevens is of no use without the national team. What’s the plan, rugby house?
