[00:00:00]Meanwhile, the transport minister, Joseph Bukari Nikpe, urged the management of Metro Mass Transit Limited to use internally generated funds to procure more buses instead of relying solely on government support. Speaking at the event, the minister said the company must take steps to expand its fleet and improve service delivery. We would not like a situation where you are given 100 buses and you yourselves cannot work internally to bring in more 100 or 200, but wait for government to look for private partnership to bring you 100 at all times. We want to witness a situation where you yourselves will be able from your internally generated funds be able to add on to whatever that you have today. That is why we are throwing the challenge to you that let us understand that you have the capabilities to turn things around.
