Speaking at the reception in the Ministry, Festus Keyamo said, “I have read the roadmap, the one developed in 2016, I read it thoroughly, our intention is not to disrupt things that have been done so well if there are things that have not been done so well, we will look at it thoroughly. “We may have to add to the roadmap but not pull it down totally because I know it was a product of a roundtable, so if it was well thought out, I like the structure that I saw”.
