The Premier and his
The Premier and his government have been hounded for incompetence , corruption , nepotism and all the wrong doing under the sun, yet according to the World Bank his government is doing the right thing by the people of Tonga . Why? is there something that the critics know , the President of the World Bank don't know ? . . . One wonders where all the monies going to and who's in charge , because recovery work is crawling at a snail pace . Cyclone relief aids keeps coming but relief for the destitute waiting for help is lacking WHY so? The planning's there , but putting it to practice is yet to be a realty cash handout is a pittance , a smart move by government to quell the murmur that's getting louder by the day . WELL , WE WILL SEE ! Grants from the I.D.A is yet to come . . . .
