00:07 accountable as well, because whatever decision you make, must ensure that the
00:15 delivery of the project must be according to the schedule and I've given
00:21 them a firm date, because they promised me July 2024 the first train must run.
00:29 So I said let's stick to that date. I don't bother, I don't care which company
00:38 that you want to continue with the existing company or
00:41 you want to appoint a new company, but the deadline will not change. If you can
00:45 do it, by all means, but deadline cannot change. I told the MD, if you change the
00:53 deadline, you'll be changed. Even though that is not my power to remove him,
01:00 he's under Kazana. But I make it a point, I said you have to be accountable. You
01:08 are the MD, you are not only accountable to the board, this is a national airport,
01:13 international airport and our national pride, that gateway to
01:20 the country, that you must take all the necessary steps to ensure that the
01:28 project will be delivered.
