Continuing, Mohammed said, “We are not a government that will share money like what others did which put the country in a mess.

“This government believes in investing in infrastructure because if you get this rightly, it will translate to wealth creation.

"People complaining about lack of money in circulation easily forgot that for 16 years, one political party was in power, sharing money, when this road became completely failed.”
