The Kanye sanitation project comprises a 480-km pipeline, 11 pump stations, and wastewater treatment works. The project was originally scheduled to run from October 2017 to October 2019, but has since been extended to later this year. It recently made headlines when it was revealed that the project, initially set at P707 million, has drastically exceeded its budget, with costs ballooning to P3.3 billion.
Responding to a question in Parliament this week, Ramogapi said the Ministry is intending to complete the Kanye projects this financial year. He also revealed that the Kanye sanitation project is at the tail end of construction, and that progress is currently at 98.8%.
