PF really worked. It’s good to see such project. It shows the borrowed money was not for salaries but for developmental purposes. Let’s not condemn loans
That’s because to you its okay to borrow $10 million dollars to construct a building that should and actually costs $3million …that is development.
Wake up from your docility!!
What’s the project cost and what is the project completion date …these are important basic things you should include in an article about a construction project.
Whats wrong with you Redi? Cant you see that this is being built by the UPND as the project had been abandoned due to lack of funds, probably stolen
What is the meaning of Kanchibiya?
