Two days later.
Congo Gold.
Under the pressure of public opinion.
An emergency session of Congress was held, hosted by Moi, halting the current construction project and preparing to re-initiate it, mainly because some of the project areas and industrial colors were just too strong.
Basically, it was impossible to give the outside world a reasonable explanation.
Take a road, for example.
It was fine as it was.
Just a little old, but with some repairs, it could have been used for many more years.
Yet, in the original plan, the road was to be completely redone.
There's nothing wrong with fixing roads, but in the neighboring province, where transportation was inconvenient, people had difficulty traveling, and there was a lack of water and electricity facilities, infrastructure investment was relatively more necessary.
In comparison.
The reasons for repairing this road just didn't stand up at all.
And these were all projects that the country itself could undertake.
