It is true that there has being a lot of litigation for and against
your payment but the truth is that some top government officials and
top bank officials are working in collaboration to frustrate some

of our investigation to verify the reason behind the nonpayment of
some foreign nationals based on the petitions received by the
presidency, so as a contracted legal firm to the presidency onn
