The government is moving to safeguard itself as it stringently manages projects and will be establishing a monitoring unit for this purpose, President Irfaan Ali yesterday disclosed.
“As project engineers and managers, we have to ensure that the files are updated, the minutes are recorded and signed… Because as we take action, we have to get our paper trail and work intact,” Ali yesterday said as he met with Minister of Public Works, Juan Edghill; Attorney General, Anil Nandlall SC; Senior Minister in the Office of the President with Responsibility for Finance and the Public Service, Dr Ashni Singh; and several government project managers and engineers.
Ali stressed that having lapsed contracts or shoddy works will not be tolerated and he put contractors on notice.
