Should the authorities condemn the use of the courthouse in Mulinuu? With the amount of leaks and defects noticed in the building, it is becoming a safety risk not only to the public but to the learned members of the legal fraternity. Some are asking why the attention was given to the car park when the building is crumbling away.
