Exim Bank of China is set to issue 500bn/- loan to the government for the construction houses for the police force in the country, the House was told yesterday.
Deputy Minister for Home Affairs, Hamad Yusuf Masauni said this when responding to a question raised in the National Assembly by Tunduma Member of Parliament (MP), Mr Frank Mwakanjoka (Chadema).
