MWANZA Regional Commissioner (RC), Mr Magesa Mulongo has said he will not tolerate any council or municipality which offers tenders to incompetent and unprofessional contractors.
Mr Mulongo made the remarks here when
talking with Municipal councils’ officials on the ongoing environment
cleaning exercise. Expounding further on the issue, he told the meeting
that some of the bidders recruited were lacking needed experience and
capacity.
“Each of us should be aware that the
environment cleaning exercise is a sustainable one and we have to treat
it seriously as it is a national agenda,” he underlined.
Any bidder, he said, who offered the job
he or she must evaluate himself/ herself, if he or she is capable of
executing the work. “The contractor or a bidder who was awarded a tender
and discovered that he or she does not have sufficient equipment for
doing the work, the directors of the concerned districts or
municipalities and city will be accountable.
He said there have been some cases
whereby some of the bidders during the bidding process, assured the
concerned authority that they had adequate equipment for doing the job,
but later to be found with few or weak equipment.
He said the government wants to see all
parts of Mwanza region including its district councils and the city
council’s environment clean.
The RC reiterated his appeal to the
general public in the region to turn up and participate in the
environment cleaning exercise.
He said that on February 27, bus
drivers, bajaj, motorcycles and other vehicles will not conduct any
movement as from 6.30 am in the morning up to 9.00 am in the morning to
throw the whole weight in the cleaning exercise.
“For the buses travelling to other
regions, they will not be affected by the cleaning exercise as the
journey begins at 6.00 in the morning,” he elaborated.
