I have always asked, just like I asked CGC here, that I hope funding is not a problem and they said it’s not a problem”,
He further said, “I promised before that we will not allow projects to be abandoned. Where we don’t have funds, we don’t need to award contracts. It doesn’t matter the pressure that may come”.
