This request comes amid growing concerns regarding the implications of these loans on state finances.
Key Points of SERAP's Demand
- Clarity on Liabilities: SERAP is urging for a full disclosure of all liabilities incurred through Chinese loans.
- Repayment Plans: Information regarding repayment schedules and terms is essential for transparency.
- Impact on State Budgets: Understanding these financial commitments is vital for assessing their impact on state budgets and overall governance.
