With all this spending money on various projects and money going into peoples pockets, why can’t this govt. Take an example from Saudi Arabia and make rain fall like they do. We have plenty of cloud cover for this, unlike Saudi, they have to wait for a little cloud to form. Its worth while spending on this project, just imagine what it can do to a small country like ours. All electricity, agricultural and farming will be sorted out, and the country will be self suficient too.
