“I will go to the TVET secretariat and find out what the challenges are. I will go to the GETfund secretariat to find out about the Domwini-Boo E-block and then see what can be done about it.
All those things are projects, which were initiated some time ago. So, I will pursue them and make sure that we get the benefits by completing them”, Mr Ziedeng indicated.
