Further on question about CWGP he responded: “CWGP has only 2 seats at parliament, they don’t even have group, but this issue is up to DP.
Parliament election is to start in 1.6 years. Main issue is what we can do now to intensify economy in such a short period of time with collaborative efforts. MPP group has planned to focus on agricultural sector.”
