Ministry defends single sourcing of Vikab for Kato School project

The Ministry of Public Infrastructure says that Vikab Engineering was selected as the supervisory consultant to oversee remedial works at the Kato, Region 9 Secondary School because it was the only company that responded from a list of six that were invited and time was of the essence.

At the same time, the ministry sought to also explain the reasons behind the keeping of the contractor of the problem-riddled school – Kares Engineering – in the fixing of the major defects.
