Among many commendable initiatives of the former statesman, he says is the construction of the MUSIGA office.

“Musicians in MUSIGA had a very special relationship with him when he was alive. Any time we call on him, he will receive us and he will tell us things that we didn’t know.

“So, this Friday we want to do a special concert for him. It is going to be virtual,” he said.
