Who should be held more accountable for the poor infrastructure in Government aided schools?

BACKGROUND:
Although the Government has prioritize investment in school infrastructure, there have been rampant reports about contractors failing to deliver. The Ministry of Education and Sports report, which has been released reveals that a total of 195 contractors who were building facilities at 206 Government aided schools, did poor work.

Basically the Tender Committee is in charge of issuing the tender to the bidders - these are normally construction companies. There is also a team of Supervising Engineers who are tasked by the ministry of works to supervise the work to ensure that the work is done in accordance to acceptable standards. Political leaders have the right to supervise and report any possible bad work to the relevant authorities.

There have been cases where the buildings have collapsed after one or two years of construction. The Government should therefore, impose tougher sanctions against contractors who fail to do work expected (New Vision Editorial October 2012)
