The refrigerators are powered by solar panels(which are also covered by the money)...which is why it cost so much.

Sir, it is still too expensive. this means each unit costs more than 5.7 million. that is outrageous

They will loot and they will tire
1 Billion can empower 2000 SMEs who in just ten years time will take away over 10 million Youth out of the labour market.

Please will dis touch the life of the people

It was stated that it was a donation.
It's not as if they were given the cash to purchase this stuff

I'm not arguing the fact that the value was over inflated.
