"content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I agree with the hon. Member that we have a serious problem with contractors who bid for works, give very impressive records and then we meet in court once we have awarded them the contracts. This trend is, indeed, worrying because a lot of public money is wasted through such court cases. However, we have tightened the noose. We have made the qualification and pre- qualification for contractors more rigorous to ensure that those who get the contract will perform. In addition, we have included the performance bids and the bid bonds to ensure that those who do not comply with the terms of the contract are penalised."
