Awormefia, Togbui Sri
III of Anlo hinted that his outfit would push for the abrogation of contracts of
contractors who unnecessarily delay projects in his traditional area.
He noted that some
contractors are creating problems for the keta Municipal Assembly as they delay
or abandon projects awarded them on their own volition.
Citing a student
dormitory for the Keta Health Assistant School which started in 2006, scheduled
to be completed in 2007 but on standstill, the Paramount chief said such
attitudes by contractors would not be tolerated in the Anlo state.
‘’It was shocking
news to me when I heard that the contractor had abandoned his job. Contractors who
would not stick to their job but preferred to leave it midway would be kicked
out’’ he insisted
Togbui Sri III made
the observation during his tour to inspect development projects ongoing in the
traditional area.
The Municipal chief
executive Mr. Sylvester Tornyeavah said although projects spearheaded by the
assembly are moving on smoothly the said dormitory project which was awarded by
the health ministry had stalled despite efforts to bring the contractor to
site.
“The contractor started the project in 2006 and abandoned it in 2009. Several efforts to draw the attention of the ministry to call the contractor to site proofed futile” he explained.
Togbui Sri however pledged
his commitment to ensure such that “recalcitrant” contractors are brought back
to site and commended the Assembly for making giant strides in improving the
lives of the people in the area.
