The councils then do a research and survey and present to us specific plans, which include the designs of the markets and NEMA requirements, among other things.

• 21 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, we will make sure that any projects that we initiate are adequately funded and completed. We will also ensure that we do not give our contracts to contractors who are unable to perform. view

So, once a contractor fails to perform, there is the issue of ensuring that we enforce the performance bond. But we need to proceed with the contract as it is. view

• 20 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Yes, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. view

• 20 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am not very sure whether that was a point of order, but I am not misleading the House. The point here is that we have performance bonds. Performance bonds are there as guarantee.
