Hon. Akurugo also tasked the district’s engineer to keep up with regular monitoring and field visits to the project sites so as to ensure the projects were being done according to specification and with the right quantities and quality of materials.


The DCE and his team first stopped at the Paga new market project site during which the contractor was molding pavement blocks and kerbs for the landscaping of the market floor. The team then made a second stop a slaughter house project situated in the Babile community. Here, the contractor had completed the placement of terrazzo chippings and next step is grinding on both floor and the working slabs.

According to the district works engineer, the contractor is scheduled to hand over the project by the end this June.
