A provincial chief has made it a practice to host the entire staff to a tea party every Wednesday at public expense.
Â
Over 10 varieties of snacks are ordered for this party, always far in excess of the requirement to enable some employees to take home the left-overs.
The Wednesday has been designated as the Public Day and the provincial chief has considered it as an excuse to give the entire staff a special treat on this day, they say.
