Mr. Speaker, Sir, this contract being implemented by Impex Construction Company was awarded in the last financial year. Although some bush clearing and some earth work has been done, no single inch of tarmack has been done, although the financial year has come to an end. So, Mr. Speaker, Sir, we require a detailed Statement from the Government stating:- 1. What was the commencement date and the completion date of this contract? 2. What was the contract sum? 3. How much money has the Government paid, so far, regarding that contract? 4. What percentage of the work has been done by the contractor? 5. What steps is the Government taking to ensure that this road is completed as soon as possible?
