“My investments, ranging from construction companies to foreign exchange operations, have contributed significantly to improving the lives of people, regardless of their educational background,” he noted.
Alhaji Kamara also revealed that he is currently constructing an ultra-modern clock tower at the Ngalu Road/Fenton Road roundabout in Bo, a project valued at millions of leones.
