Must read

Chinese construction firm, China Wuyi Industrial Company, has won Shs948.39 billion (951 million Chinese Yuan) bid to construct the Fort Port-Hoima Highway in western Uganda, the company announced Monday.

“All of the company and the board of directors guarantee that the contents of the information disclosure are true, accurate and complete without false record, misleading statement or material omission,” the statement reads in part. The statement was written in Chinese and this reporter had to use Google Translate application to turn it into English text.

The bid was awarded by Uganda National Roads Authority, which the company referred to as ‘Uganda National Road Bureau’. The 55 kilometre road will take 18 months to construct, with a warranty period of 12 months.

The company says the construction contract is yet to be signed. According to the announcement it made to shareholders, the company expects to make a profit of Shs800 million on the project.

Meanwhile, UNRA Executive Director, Allen Kagina has warned that the organisation will not give any more contracts to companies with a history of non-performance on its projects. Kagina was speaking at meeting with officials of the Chinese Embassy and Chinese contractors on UNRA projects.

“I would like to sound a stern warning to companies amongst you who know they have been non-performers. Please do me a favour and don’t bid for another contract, because you just will not get it” she said. “Our objective is to enhance a great working relationship with our contractors in the management of project works. This will make implementation of projects on both ends of the spectrum,” Mrs. Kagina added.
