Dear Editor, The shenanigans at GECOM continues. Now the meeting to determine the fate of employees involved in attempted electoral manipulation could not commence as their employment contracts were not available to the Commission.

Dear Editor, It must be the joke of the century for the installed Minister of Education to be advocating a $19,000 (under US $100) payout for every child in public schools, since this programme is ill conceived and will not improve the lives of the children, parents or teachers or increase their access to education.
