The meeting was no a dialogue meeting but a monologue meeting. They do allow any body to even ask questions or make comments. Let no one say it was a dialogue meeting

I knew from the start that the PC, the stakeholders, and the Government are going to protect the interest of the Company at the expense of the masses just for their selfish gains.
The video of the Company that is circulating online, which the PC is claiming to be allegation and untrue, has been admitted by the ONS to be true. Koidu City is never a safe place for our future generations. The city is on time bomb that can be destroyed by disaster caused the Company’s operations at anytime.
