Kang-Hukuntsi road halts as Sinohydro demands payment

In an interview, Kang-Hukuntsi road project manager Yan Xing Hua said that they have been forced to stop all surface works on the rehabilitation of the road with only 40 km left before completion as they have run of out money to buy bitumen and diesel.

 Following several months stoppage in the rehabilitation of the road last year, due to a standoff on the usage of the Lokgwabe quarry, government and the company reached a compensation settlement in December last year amounting to P23 million which was supposed to be paid, according to the settlement agreement, within a one month period.
