DNO you all are getting from bad to worse, I keep coming on here to see some news on the budget and keep wondering what is your management priority? I would think top of the page would be BUDGET DAY TODAY 26, JULY 2022. and that the Minister of Finance presented a $1.2b estimate…….. I am very disappointed to say the lease……..
ADMIN: We do not normally post off-topic comments. However, we want to acknowledge your criticism. We did lapse by not providing live coverage of the budget presentation as we usually do due to our team being abnormally inundated.
Decently written stories on the budget take time to prepare, but, we will have one out shortly.
Thank you for making the effort to keep us honest and we hope that the next time you visit our site you will be able to see the quality news content we all desire.
