He was speaking during Mayor’s ball dinner on Friday. Oodira-Kwenje noted with disappointment that most of the projects, which were scheduled for completion in 2015, have failed. He told the stakeholders that the council tried to assist contractors by paying directly for their materials but the results were disappointing.

He said there was lack of seriousness among the contractors and that they needed to be informed that public funds are being wasted. He cited an example of 25 teachers houses in Unit 5, which were scheduled for completion but to date, they are not even 50% complete.
