SSKIA expansion thrown in limbo

Expansion of the terminal building should have been completed by May last year. Instead, the project is still ongoing with galloping cost overruns currently at P115 million.

In a notice published this week, PPABD announced it had declined DBES' request to increase the contract amount from P433 million to P547 million for the airport expansion project that is being undertaken by Chinese company, Sinohydro Botswana. DBES is the employer for the contract on behalf of the government.
