If you have any offices in the regions or if there is any new office that is about to be established and you need our help, please don’t hesitate to let us know if we have to partner you as far as roads are concerned.
“The stadia that we have, if we have to do anything, particularly to roads leading to the various stadia in the country, perhaps where you all troop every Sunday to watch matches, please let us know.
“Particularly, in the area of car parks, let us know. Give us a programme, it cannot be done overnight. But we will put it into our master programme and execute them one after the other. This is not going to be a one-off thing, you will be seeing more of me, as your uncle, whether you like it or not,” the lawmaker added.
