The reason being what I have simply explained just now; that it was the same project and it would be imprudent and difficult to have one vendor implementing ... view
• 6 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, Phase I of this project was split into two for two reasons. First, it was found prudent by Exim Bank that Phase I should be implemented, then measure its performance and see the implementation process before we approve Phase II.
