He said the budding of the multimillion projects in the area demonstrates TNM commitment in giving back to the communities it operator.

“You can agree with me that TNM is always with us in different sectors such education, and even sports and I would like to assure the company that government will create a good business  environment for companies  like TNM to operate so that it realises profits ,” he said.
