Incomplete works in Agriculture Road
Dear Editor,
After writing several letters about the deplorable state of Agriculture Road, I am compelled to write this letter again. About three weeks ago, I saw the same engineer sent by the Ministry of Public Infrastructure to patch the bad holes I highlighted on my previous letter by pictures I took. I believe this engineer was sent back to complete his “work” he left unfinished.
I was happy that he came back to patch the holes in this road that I note with interest, he started the work from in front of NAREI. The holes in front of NAREI he patched properly. Then I noticed he just dug out the bad parts and threw in some crush and run and rolled it over and did not put bitumen for over 200 meters that now have two more holes already. What infuriates me was he worked a few days and left the work to go and fix two roads in Block 8. He fixed those two roads but left about 600 meters with deep holes and left to return to Agriculture Road to patch more holes he left unfinished in the rains.
It’s mind boggling that this Engineer will work in the rains and not on the hot days. The middle of the road that had a big hole that broke the road into pieces he tried to fix properly but if you look at the bottom when it was dug out and what was thrown in, you know it cannot last a year. He failed to level the twisted parts of the road and sleeved the corners of the road.
In my firm opinion, this man needs to be taken to court to refund the Ministry their money for deplorable road works.
I am calling on the Minister of Public Infrastructure to send a team into Agriculture Road to examine the road work that is executed by this engineer.
What bothers me is that the Ministry sent back this same man again to complete his work who is a total failure and he failed again to patch the holes again.
I hope those in authority will address this issue in Agriculture Road I have raised here or the President will address it.
Regards,
Rev.Gideon Cecil
