Irresponsible reporting

Nausori The rape case coverage of the 14 year old girl has been classical- Girl raped, Raped girl buried, family of raped girl to move.

The poor girl’s family will be traumatised not only from the death of their loved one, the circumstances surrounding her death, the publicity the case is attracting, but the consistent hounding of what they are up to.

Jesus laid down His life to save us from Hell and eternal suffering, the least we can do is to give a little of our thoughts and actions for His cause.

The unplanned power outage in Delainavesi (and I assume other parts of Vitilevu) reflects poor engineering from Fiji Electricity Authority (FEA). I understand that FEA is replacing a new inlet valve at Wailoa power station and has put a notice in the newspaper to this effect. The unplanned outage of 7 hours(10am - 5pm) on Thursday 24th reflects badly on FEA engineering ability to maintain the gensets. This has never happened before at FEA. Even water supply to Delainavesi had
