    "content": "From there, we have to agree. I request the Members, particularly Members of the Departmental Committee on Transport, Public Works and Housing to make sure that whatever we have agreed here and passed is seen on the ground. It is embarrassing when a road is allocated some money and awarded to a certain contractor, but the kind of work that is done on the ground leaves a lot to be desired. I know of various roads in my constituency which people have complained about. They wonder why when a road is rehabilitated, even before the contractor moves out of site, it is impassable especially in places where he started. This is very shameful. We need to look again at these contractors and the kind of work they do. Any contractor who is awarded a road and does a shoddy job should not only be blacklisted, but also penalised and surcharged. That is the only way through which we can save the taxpayers’ money."
