Government Calls for Review Of Contracts on Reconstruction of Juba Airport The South Sudan government has called on the Finance and Roads ministries to review contracts signed years back between the government and contractors for the construction of Juba International Airport. 07 October 2013
*By Waakhe Simon Wudu* *JUBA, 07 October 2013 [Gurtong]* - The government said it will only approve $15.6 million as requested by the Ministry of Roads and Transport for the completion of the construction of the airport after the contracts are reviewed. The resolution came following a presentation by the Minister of Roads and Transport, Kuong Danhier during a meeting chaired by the President Salva Kiir Mayardit. In a statement to the press shortly after the meeting, Hon. Michael Makuei, the government Spokesperson said the money will only be approved after the review of the contracts. “During the presentation it was decided that the Minister of Roads and Transport and the Minister of Finance, Commerce, Investment and Economic Planning do review the former contracts that were signed between the government of South Sudan and the contractors,” Makuei said. “It’s worth mentioning that this project has been one of the longest projects that was started since 2005 and up to now it is unable to finish,” Makuei said.
