\u201cWe are experiencing hardships since it is four months without getting paid. We have spent our efforts expecting to get our payments. Our families are starving,\u201d he said.
\nThe businessman who constructed the crafts center, Anatole Bizimana, however says he\u2019s surprised to hear that some workers were not paid. <\/p>\n
