Construction has begun

I just heard from my friend in Kumba, David, that construction on the new market began recently. After a great deal of bureaucracy, the town took matters into their own hands. The shopkeepers agreed to pay the next year's rent in advance to have the market built. I'm sure it was a struggle for many of the traders, and I'd like to think the credit unions helped out in the process. The people have bypassed the national government and made things work at a local level.
