VALUE FOR TAX PAYERS’ MONEY
IS THIS VALUE FOR TAX PAYERS’ MONEY? With close to US$5 Million spent on the National Track and Field Centre ($1.084 billion to be exact), athletes were forced to take out their umbrellas under the pavilion when the rains came last weekend. Obviously the contractors did not take into consideration the direction of the rain to appropriately locate the stands; instead rain almost swamped everyone in the stands. Added to that, there are some leaks in the roof already. The venue was officially opened just before the May 11 General and Regional Elections.
