    "content": "Due diligence was not done. Some companies which were declared bankrupt in Italy were given work to construct some dams. If due diligence was done, it would not have happened. The Government was making financial commitments in billions before it even secured land for the dam construction. There are other considerations and factors at play but not necessarily because of the dam. I strongly urge the Ministry of Water and Sanitation to create a Directorate of Dam Engineering which will spearhead all the dam projects from conceptualisation, through geotechnical works to design and supervision. If this institution is in place, Badasa and Umaa dams would not be designed to fail, at the outset. This is a solution to that critical need."
