This should've been done
This should've been done sooner, but ! BETTER LATE THAN NEVER huh! well its good for morale. Fiji did this too only sooner. A brilliant manoeuvre one might say by the government. One can only wait to see the outcome of these handout. Could this assistance be repeated? to help people who have suffered due to damage from cyclone Gita. The handouts should've been TP$1,500 regardless of the severity of the damage, materials for repairs should be bought at reduced prices, because its a temporary aid till the reconstruction builders get to all who needs help, this money is to alleviate the situation they are in, just a one off or is it ? LOOK OUT , we can see right from the start things weren't going as planed, names not on the list, peoples name on the list with out them knowing, complaints not being dealt with properly, but thanks for the help anyway . God bless Tonga.
