BIUST's P152 million road gets audited :: Mmegi Online

The Parliamentary Committee on Statutory Bodies and State Enterprises has called on the Auditor General to audit a P152m road. The committee was shocked to learn that the Botswana International University of Science and Technology (BIUST) has already spent the amount while the project is yet to be completed.

BIUST acting Vice Chancellor, Dennis Siginer told the committee that Rockefeller (Pty) Ltd was in 2016 awarded a P99 million tender, which included construction of 6.5 kilometre access road to the institution, storm water drainage, road signs, road markings and associated road furniture, construction of a gate house, sport changing facilities, ablution blocks and construction of water pipelines from campus to the new gate house.

Specially elected legislator, Mephato Reatile questioned Siginer as to why the project was not yet complete as well as whether he thought the expenditure was justifiable.
