PC Kebbie of Malen Chiefdom in the Pujehun district said that, he was very pleased with the operations of Socfin in his Chiefdom. “The company has met its Corporate Social Responsibility in my Chiefdom… They have built schools, hospitals (clinics), paying of school fees for some school children, construction of feeder roads, etc”, Hon. P.C Kebbie told the Global Times.

The Hon.
