Ok

Good job

Good job, Gov Fash.


Sincerely, we still have a long way to go in this country. How can our people be turning the roads to selling points and car wash centers without making appropriate provision for drainage resulting from the business. This is one of the reasons our roads aint durable. The govt will spend a lot of money on the construction and renovation of the roads, only for our people to mess it up in less than a year, and they are the people that will be shouting that the govt aint doing anything. In addition, selling on the road poses a threat to their lives. These people need to be checked.
