    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is very brief. In view of what you said, I will go straight to the answer. To reply on why the runway renovation has taken over two years to complete necessitating the use of half the runway is that the project has not taken over two years to complete. The works commenced on 15th November, 2014, hence time lapse to date is about 12 months not over two years. However, the project has experienced delays due to the following reasons: I. There were unforeseen ground conditions that resulted in an increase in the scope of works as all loose sandy material had to be over excavated and carted away. The resulting excavated section had to be back filled and compacted in several uniform layers. This resulted in extra time required to carry out the earth works. II. The unexpected last term heavy rains affected the progress as the works could not be carried out when it was raining. III. Lack of suitable gravel material also caused delay in construction of the sub-base layer. This requires the material to be stabilized with cement which was not included in the contract.
