Palapye split Chinese tender for locals

The Monitor: He said tendering for the renovation of the old police station is yet to be done and priority will be given to local contractors.The new police station was scheduled for completion in May 2011 at P146.5 million.A District Development Committee report delivered to the council by district development officer, Oratile Dintwe says poor performance by the contractor delayed the project, which is now 96 percent complete. The report also attributes the delay in the completion of the Botswana International University of Science and Technology, which is two years behind schedule, to poor performance by the contractor. The revised completion date has been moved to August and mobilisation of materials has been cited as a major impediment.
