Contractors engaged in various development projects in Homa Bay County have been urged to deliver within the timelines.
Homa County Commissioner Ronald Mwiwawi said cases of delays in the completion of projects were hampering development in the area.
The administrator at the same time told contractors to ensure quality workmanship in the projects in order to give maximum value for public resources.
Speaking Saturday during a tour of development projects across the county, Mwiwawi expressed concerns over the slow pace of the expansion of Kabunde Airstrip.
He said the locals were eagerly waiting for the resumption of commercial flights but the progress of the works in the facility was slow.
Mwiwawi, however, expressed satisfaction with the progress of the tarmacking of the 11-kilometre Nyalkinyi-Imbo Road.
The administrator who led a team from the Government Delivery Unit in the inspections warned public servants tasked with supervising projects against taking bribes from contractors.
“Some of the contractors renege on timely delivery of projects after public servants solicit bribes from them. We are going to take firm action against such malpractices,” he warned.
Mwiwawi at the same time called for strict enforcement of load limits for the trucks using the improved roads.
He noted that lorries ferrying sand were notorious for damaging low-volume seal roads in rural areas.
The team also toured Arujo bridge construction project and Kodoyo junction-Rangwena dual carriage project
