| Message | This budget is preposterous to say the least. However, we agree with the Zog House on the proposed amendment justice budget. A healthy society relies on the well-being of domestic and stable civilian infrastructure; particularly in food and agriculture, trade and industry and education. We say any to the budget overall. -Imam Abdullah Çoluk yields |
