"A budget of $2.5million has budgeted for the preparation and catering for the 2500 members of the Methodist church delegation that will converge at Naduri village this week."
Just recently, from choir competitions, the church had collected $2.325million dollars. Now they are going to spend more than that for a meeting?
"... everyone is excited and happy about the catering services that we will provide to the delegation of the church". Of course anyone would be excited! Basically its an allocation of about $1000 per person. No need to go to Naduri village, they could have done this at a 5 star hotel (with breakfast, lunch, dinner etc etc) and still have some money left!
I surely hope this is a printing error from the Fiji Times.... please please!
