    "content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) The construction of a modern market at Port Victoria Town Council stalled due to disputes relating to the scope of works and post-election violence. After the situation returned back to normal, the contractor was instructed to proceed with the works, but he persistently ignored to comply even after being granted an extension of time. The contract period was 12 months, which is 52 weeks. The commencement date was 11th October, 2007 and the original completion date was 12 October, 2008. The first extension period granted to the contractor was one month which was to end on 11th November, 2008. The second extension was for seven months and the completion date was to be 11th June, 2009. The contractor did not abide with these instructions and there was a fundamental breach of contract and a notice of termination was given to the contractor on 4th May. (b) The contract for the completion of the market will be readvertised this financial year."
