Minister of Natural Resources and the Environment Khumpai speaks about the environment
This morning, minister Vitchu Khumpai gave a speech about the importance of preserving the environment. He talked about the damages littering causes to the natural ecosystems as well as human lives of Midway.
"The amount of trash found in the nature is only increasing, and it's a problem in urban centres as well. In cities, seeing trash on the ground is an inevitability. We want to change this, and our solution is to start enforcing stricter laws against littering, as well as increasing the amount of trash cans on the sidewalks. Starting September 15th, you can be fined up to 1000 LOD, depending on the severity of the offence. This may sound harsh to some people, but it is only for the good of Midway." Said Minister Khumpai
The threat of large fines is expected to cut the amount of offenses to a minimum, and providing the public with additional waste bins in cities will ensure that the practice of littering will not happen due to inability to dispose the problem otherwise. The Greens' President Wakayoshi Sumiko has pledged their full support to this bill, with all 17 votes going aye, meaning that the bill passed with ease (62 aye, 13 nay, 25 abstain)
Talks for improving the employment
The interior minister Pongpob Palapol has talked with other ministers and MoP's about the amount of unemployment the nation is in. Ministers Palapol and Ratsifa gave a statement, claiming that the solution is not as simple as providing employment and hoping for the best. So there has been talks of a government sponsored housing with free of charge meals to help those who cannot afford it themselves, as those individuals who can't live adequately on their own, are less likely to be employed due to them having to prioritize survival and life above getting a job. These talks have not made much progress though, as the proposal has not been popular with the conservatives, but the talks are continuing.
