The Nairobi City County Assembly, Public Accounts Committee wants the County Government to blacklist Platinum Construction Company over delays in completion of estate roads.
The MCA’s said the company has taken too long to complete the Kimondo, Pipeline and Kware roads.
Platinum Construction Company was awarded the tender to construct the roads in 2017 and was expected to complete the job in eight months.
Kware MCA Rose Kula said the firm is not constructing the roads to the required standards.
“The Engineer incharge, whenever called and asked what is happening is always arrogant. I opted to call the site engineer but he’s also slippery. There is no explanation why we have the delay,” Kula said.
Engineer Jakinda Opuk Adede who is in- charge of Platinum Construction Company was summoned to appear before the Public Accounts Committee.
The committee wanted an explanation from him on why the Company has not completed the roads yet they were paid.
However, while appearing before the committee, Adede said Platinum Construction has done the work as per the contract.
He said delayed payment has caused the work to stall.
