The way shollei was handling construction works contracts is very unprofessional. For advance payments to be effective, the client needs a full team of consultants i.e arch, eng, qs etc etc so as to ensure fool proof recovery of monies. In this case, she is using JKUCAT who do not have such capacity. This means there is no one to track how the money is being repayed back hence confusion and losses.
Looks like if her case goes to court, she is staring at a huge fine or even jail term for this.
is there any mention anywhere of an advance payment guarantee or is the money irrevocably lost?
Please Wazuanos let us share knowledge and post facts and from points of information.
@collabo it is obvious your sphere needs to be expanded beyond the provincial and lower division leagues and know what happens in premier/Champions super leagues
Go to GDC, REA, Kengen Kenya Power, Ministry of Infrastructure, KAA etc and sample the top ten contracts
the payment terms for these projects allow even up to 20-30% advance payment or mobilization fees. Such moneys are covered by an advance payment guarantee from an approved bank for an equivalent amount
besides this there is a performance bond which cover the wooks till expiry of defects liability or warranty period
these conditions are standard practice borrowed fro World Bank and MDB harmonised conditions of contract
@a4arch i expected you to share with wazuans, the FIDIC conditions which are the ones along which works contracts are modelled. Sio kunyamaza when peopke make untruth ascertions here.
Again how many projects in public sector are supervised and interim certificates approved by Qualified and Practising Engineers or architecta
From my research and interaction with field staff most of these are being done by QSs and technicians. There are also several 'Engineers' in both public and private practice holding such titles yet they have not gotten ERB certification these among others are what is ailing the profession and is also responsible for the mess in GoK projects.
