Public Officers Will Now Be Price Police

And another measure that the Cabinet announced they were going to implement to lower the incidences of price gouging was taken out of the PSU's handbook. In the JUNT's February press conference, President Flowers said that they had recommended to the government to utilize public officers in the wake of the lack of human resources in the Ministry of Agriculture. And, over a year after the suggestion was made, Cabinet has finally accepted. In the briefing from Tuesday's meeting, it said that they would, quote, "assemble a team that will actively assist with monitoring processes in stores to detect instances of price gouging." End quote.

Today, we got Flowers' reaction to the news.
