How do the Chinese take Sierra Leone for? Dandogo? Majority of the work they are doing and not durable. The roads has too many curves and, look at the Mamamah airport area plan views online. Its just like an Estate or compound. Though they provide the money but they have to give us some thing that will stands a taste of time because at the end, Sierra Leone have to pay back the money. I mean come on APC!
