Urging that they revise their business models and modify their work culture, President Irfaan Ali on Monday told contractors that they must adapt if they want to remain competitive in the sector.
Addressing the contractors at a meeting at the Arthur Chung Conference Centre, Ali stated that those working on government projects must expand their human resource capacity and machinery to effectively meet their contractual obligations. He also said that contractors must be willing to invest in night work in order to get the job done.
“If you are playing at a certain level, you have to be willing to make the investment to allow you to be competitive and efficient at that level. This is where the country is heading. You have to build your night capacity; otherwise, you will fail,” Ali said as he discussed his government’s expectations regarding the execution of the projects and the quality of work.
