Friday, August 03, 2018

Central Distric Council chamber PIC: KEOAGILE BONANG.

The Central District Council (CDC) has lost an appeal against a contractor they engaged in 2014 to build semi-detached houses in Palapye. The council will have to fork out a total of P2,887, 778, 98 plus interest and costs that was awarded to the building contractor, Krosswise Company, by the arbitrator.

The CDC had entered into a contract with Krosswire on November 28, 2014, for the sum of P5,938, 481, 92 but fired the contractor for failing to execute the works with due diligence.

Following the cancellation of the contract, the parties’ matter was heard by the arbitrator, John Carr-Hartley who then awarded the contractor the sum in the absence of the client.
