He said: “Government or for that matter, any institution of government must, of necessity, function within the law as provided by the constitution, statutes, and laid down rules and regulations.”
“Issues of compensation to the original inhabitants, removal of illegal structures, general development control, massive infrastructural developments, provision of social services such as schools and hospitals, and general land administration, must be situated within extant laws using the traditional contract model.
as well as the new public private partnership approach.”
