8:46 CAT | 30 Jul 2018
The Zambezia provincial director for health, Hidayat Kassim, announced on Friday that 361,000 US dollars has been raised to complete construction projects left abandoned over many years.
Kassim told journalists at the end of his directorate’s Coordinating Council in the provincial capital of Quelimane city that seven projects in the districts of Pebane, Maganja da Costa, and Mocubela would be restarted within days. However, the work will not be carried out by the contractors who previously deserted the work.
He explained that “we have managed to rush through the list of abandoned works. There were 21, and we have concluded 14 of these. We have terminated six contracts and re-held the tenders for all of them. We will announce the new constructors shortly”. The seventh project is the health centre in Missale, in the district of Maganja da Costa, which was deserted a long time ago.
The central province of Zambezia has about a hundred government projects that have been abandoned by construction companies unwilling to fulfil their obligations. Among these are schools, health units, and other important pieces of infrastructure.
Some of these public works were paralysed in 2000, according to the provincial director of public works, Graciano Artur.
