“I’m frightened once we are advised that the Ministry of Well being wants 4 consulting companies, paid very dearly, after all, to prepare the logistics“, emphasizes Julien Bayou.

With this conviction, I hope for defective deficiency, it signifies that you and I have to be cautious about our imprint, however we should maintain accountable the State which doesn’t regulate.
