The government, however will have some things to show for it, they will be brand new landcruisers for all the cabinet ministers and pm, to the tune of $200,000.00 tala each, the wife and children will have brand new pickups for the plantation or just for cruising around town, most if not all of the hrpp party and their spouses would have had gone on at least two all paid for overseas trips and the districts they hail from will have a couple of tar sealed plantation access roads. what do think of that budget. - Rita Fri, 27 Jun 2008 16:35:24 +0100 http://www.samoalivenews.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=1271&Itemid=59#pc_2062 i sent a comment re the above story a couple of days ago and is yet to see it. is there a problem with it, please advise. eds note : We don't have a record of your comments.

The news story is about the budget, yet we have pictures of MPs eating at a restaurant. The clear implication is that the MPs are using the 640 million on themselves or that the MPs eat eat eat and do nothing with their time. What kind of poor and lazy journalism is this? No analysis of the budget, no break-down of allocations, no nothing. I'm sure newsline can do better than this. - Alo Thu, 26 Jun 2008 13:41:24 +0100 http://www.samoalivenews.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=1271&Itemid=59#pc_2037 faamolemole siaki atu lava poo sao le tou caption? pei lava e le o le faletua lea o palusalue, o le teine o le matou matagaluega? - popo uli Wed, 25 Jun 2008 21:17:08 +0100 http://www.samoalivenews.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=1271&Itemid=59#pc_1993 can you guys divide up the money then pass it out to all the families that are in need of help???.....then see how much you guys have and then maybe you should see what needs to be done...oh and the pictures what does that have to do with the 640Million???????????..........dont tell me they are spending it on feeding themselves first???????? ;D..anyways Thanks for the updates. malo lava galulue. - Malia Tue, 24 Jun 2008 14:48:21 +0100 http://www.samoalivenews.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=1271&Itemid=59#pc_1964 Yes it is a pretty skimpy news story on the most important piece of legislation for the year. I think the best way to see a breakdown of the budget is to go and download the budget speech from the Ministry of Finance website www.mof.gov.ws - Olo Mon, 23 Jun 2008 17:15:42 +0100 http://www.samoalivenews.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=1271&Itemid=59#pc_1962 hope they use the money wisely...... :D............ - Malia Mon, 23 Jun 2008 15:40:36 +0100 http://www.samoalivenews.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=1271&Itemid=59#pc_1950 Ou te faaluaina le manatu!
