May be, it has done research for the period it has been in existence and put it into the shelves. It has not come to the open how KIRDI can justify its existence for all the period and how it has helped this country to move forward. We would want to see much more from this flagship.

East and south of Africa, up to the north; there was only other workshop in Libya that could compete with the NMC and yet, there is nothing to show for it. All you hear out there is mismanagement, employment of relatives, sacking of staff and allocations of the land that used to belong to the NMC, yet if this flagship of this Ministry is used properly, this country can save a lot of money on the spares that it imports into this country. This is a complex that would be able to produce, maybe, half of the industrial spares that this country needs. That way, it would save this country a lot of money.
