“More institutions will have to be moved out of government control and converted into institutions which are more profitable. More state institutions will have to be made more efficient. They should be able to become institutions able to pay higher salaries," the MP told a media briefing.
“The Road Development Authority (RDA) should be under a few companies if it is to become more profitable," the MP said, citing an example.
