In merely three weeks, that pledge is becoming a reality.
Minister Indar stated that the main access roads in Wakenaam are in a deplorable state and is in need of urgent fixing. The Minister assured Wakenaam residents that the road upgrades will commence as soon as the contractors setup their equipment.
