though it used by majority due to network problem. They claimed that ATM is not only
one and far located but also it not operating all the time due to network problem. It go
offline for long time without prior notification to customers hence reduced the services

more ATMs to cattle customer need and more education should be provided to the
customer on the use of other function of ATM and not only dispensing as it used by
majority.
