    "content": "(c) To ensure that roads are build to acceptable standards, my Ministry has put in place the following measures. One, is to procure works through competitive bidding. Two, the supervision of road projects is undertaken by registered engineers and consultant; three, use of inspection and acceptance committee to ensure that the contractors build roads as per technical specifications. Four, the provision of adequate defect liability period after construction when the contractor is expected to maintain the road to required standards. Lastly, my Ministry, together with the Ministry of Public Works, is also carrying out institutional reforms in order to establish the National Construction Authority that will regulate and control the construction industry. This independent institution is expected to instill discipline and work together with Public Procurement and Oversight Authority to weed out unscrupulous contractors."
