Speaking to the media, the MCE noted that the inspection was to ensure that the contractors working on the Jackson Park project completes its on time and also ensure value for money.

“If you award contracts and you do not supervise, visit or manage the contracts properly, anything can be done and handed over to you. That is why I have taken it upon myself to visit this project site to know what goes on there every week”, he said.

The MCE expressed satisfaction with the level and quality of work being executed on the project and commended the contractors. In attendance were the Municipal Planning Officer, Municipal Engineer Officer, Municipal Information Officer and other staff of the assembly.
