mtls2005 Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 I thought that the next (second?) phase of this scheme was on hold (in Parliament) due to massive fraud and corruption? Smells like a giant trough managed by TAT, what could go wrong? Maybe some agreement on sharing the management fee was negotiated amongst various authorities? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
