Tim Tepaki's letter to the editor of CI News of September 11 is a fine example of what MOP supporter Mata Tutai was talking about, regarding my recent letter to CINews that was critical of this $300 million "soft loan development fund", purportedly for the MOP Juggernaut's explicit use, as already explained by Tim Tepaki.
