CONFRONTATION

Anger flared at the local market when the government department tasked with cleaning the fish-selling area turned up for its daily cleaning routine. Vendors were frustrated that they were still operating and the cleaning crew started its work. Who to blame for this? The cleaners are also working on a time given to them.

AMBER

Word from the corridors of the ministry dealing with money is that the nation could have moved up to an amber alert regarding the fuel crisis. Many people are wondering why the government is not keeping its people updated on the real situation.

THEFT

The boys in blue are seeking information on an individual who broke into the superannuation office and made off with cash. How did the individual enter a well-guarded office? Luckily, he was captured on surveillance footage but the recovery of the money remains questionable.

DRAINAGE

The thunderstorm around the capital and nearby areas had water flowing off the road into many compounds. The lack of drainage systems is affecting homes built lower than the level of the road. Luckily, the heavy rain did not last for long.

CHARGE

Even the nightclubs and bars are feeling the pinch of the fuel crisis. One popular bar has increased its cover charge to $20. There have been some complaints on the usual forums but if going out is a luxury, it can be afforded by those who can still fill up their tanks to the maximum.
