Why is the slogan in English, he 'oku laku veve 'ae kakai 'oku nau 'ahia mai hotau fonua? Is the slogan for the benefit of yet another foreign funded project?
Picking up rubbish every day of the week wears off like panadol. We need immunisation for tthis epidemic. The serum is " Alu mo ho'o veve 'o laku 'i 'api" -
This Minister has his own way of drawing attention. He declared before over the media that his ministry is trying to comply with Tongan Laws which was never in use before. What's with the Sunday Law now? Lavulavu I'm afraid to say that your days are numbered. You have been playing the game with your own rules and low interpretation. I will remember you when what I'm saying occurs.
