it does say a lot that communication with a public office, in charge of such a huge amount of investor money takes that form. Its first and foremost making Grace et al some sort of email to barua ya kawaida converter, is more environmentally unfriendly (printing paper and all and is overally inefficient. Im therefore not surprised at most of the responses. Imagine if this was the fire brigade , and there was a fire. Now put that particular ministry in the context of V2030.

Thanks. I was pleasantly surprised to see a response, but was disappointed on reading further - these are standard boilerplate responses. As an example:
5. Why does the government award contracts to companies that do not do their job professionally?
Government contracts are awarded in accordance with the provisions of the Public Procurement and Disposal Act, 2005 and Regulations, 2006. This includes competitive bidding process through tendering and award to the lowest evaluated bid.
This does not answer the question. Are there any punitive measures taken against contractors who perform sub-standard work? An example is the Magumu-Njabini road, on which repair works were completed in 2003 but by 2005, some sections were already degraded. Today the road is terrible. A report by the Controller and Auditor-General specifically mentions the works on this road as unsatisfactory (http://bit.ly/LGMKK5 - Section 4 onwards).
Regards, Steve.
