EDITOR, The Tribune.
For the last three days the traffic on East Shirley Street has been gridlocked because of the inefficiency of one government-hired small contractor who has been working on one manhole cover for that entire period. He is obviously being paid by the hour as he is making a five-course meal of a peanut butter sandwich.
After spending 45 minutes in traffic today to get from Village Road to Church Street, I arrived at said manhole to find the workmen comfortably seated on St Matthew’s Church wall in the shade with the hole still gaping and one lane of the street again blocked as a result.
If this is an example of the calibre of the small contractors hired by the Ministry of Works, it would certainly explain why Bamsi and the Urban Renewal Small Homes repairs contracts have been such a disaster, another glaring example of government’s waste of the taxpayer’s money in awarding work to unqualified crony contractors.
