Excellent – but, do some work on your website to improve navigation…it tends to be on an endless loop & asking for attendance in person…when the whole transaction should be completed on line. Otherwise well done. I wish this were the case with the Ministry of lands.
Excellent income generation. This will help the economy a great deal. Kz
