Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Assistant Minister has tried to answer the Question. However, that is an 18-kilometer road with three contractors on site. The contract was split up to defeat the threshold of competitive bidding and, hence, the shoddy work that was done. The Assistant Minister has not answered Part (d) of the Question. The payments were made upfront, even before the works started. The Assistant Minister has never been on the ground to know what is happening. But that is exactly what happened. How can potholes start developing on a road even before the construction work is completed?

Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Assistant Minister has admitted that the contractors have fully been paid. He has said that he will approach the contractors to re- do the work. At the same time, he has said that there is nothing he can do about the contractors because the work has been done. Is he incapable? Is he a hostage of the contractors? Public money has gone to waste, a shoddy job has been done and the Assistant Minister cannot do anything to the contractors.
