On the sidelines of the meeting, the Director of the Department of National Founders and Presidential Libraries, Mr. Salum A. Kyando, spoke to Mwanakawetu, saying:

 

“We also have the responsibility of preserving records of public institutions when they reach the end of their existence, because one day it is possible that such an institution may be decided to be restored.
