Such a problems with builders,using bad materials,not completing the construction on time and INFLATING the
final costs for construction of roads,bridges,stadiums and other public projects,
exist ALSO in Western Europe.
Khama and his ministers should hire good lawyers,who draft the contracts in such manner,that there is not any room for the builders to defraud the Government.
Out a cap on the FINAL price for the construction;
require a warranty of at least 5 years for the good condition and functioning of the public projects.
In case the construction is bad,the Botswana Government can point to the WARrANTY clause in the contracts and demand,that the construction company does the repair.
Actually these provisions are regulated in the Contract Law
(Civil Code of Botswana).
