First find out if he was ever at NYS. If no, promote him to nyapara...If yes, vote for them.
Thieves are not good people. Tumeelewana?

I've been trying to avoid such situations beforehand and I bumped into a possible solution the other day.

Adopting modern technology in construction.

So I've been doing some research as regards IG STRUCTURES who say that about 60% of the building process takes place in the manufacturing plant...

A QS involvement will also be helpful to avoid unexplained overruns

Unless you have your own transport, you lose out on transport costs. Economies of scale. Hiring security is also an additional cost which isn't a guarantee that he won't collude to steal from you!

Maybe you shouldn't be too yoked on earthly treasures? The rage will do you more harm than the financial loss

True. The only logical approach is to have a quantity assessment. Like a certain square meter of walling will require x amounts of cement bags. One column will take 1.5bags of cement etc. This way any excessive overrun in quantity will be flushed out immediately as pilferage

For the lead fundis and caretaker at site avoid hiring locals they usually have an existing network unexplained appearances by mtu wa nduthi masaa ya jioni is a sure sign a bag or two of cement zimekujiwa.Be random when making site visits given they have to move the materials at some point.A tough personality is also a plus complain loudly ,suddenly bring in new guys. Lakini this is one vice which is very difficult to eradicate may be minimize.when
