I’m trying to work out what problem exactly this white elephant was intended to resolve.

Having this while the economy is in the tank, massive job cuts looming, a health crisis and a devalued shilling doesn’t make any sort of logic at any rational level.

Aside from Africans, the only other group of Low IQ bonobos that do this sort of thing while their economy is sinking is North Korea.

This has been a project in the works since 2013. CPS has alot of cash and owns alot of real estate. IT IS NOT A GOVERNMENT PROJECT

Anyway, it has sure tenants. Its other buildings that will loose tenants as COG moves into this.
