The contractor that worked on the first phase of the Chikwawa – Chapananga Road and the Chapananga Bridge, PLEM Construction plans to consult the Roads Authority (RA) regarding concerns raised on the quality of their work.

Yesterday vice President Saulos Chilima faulted the firm for what he called substandard work especially on the road from the Chapananga Bridge.

Chilima has ordered the contractor to redesign the road.

The vice president is currently inspecting ongoing development projects across the country to compare desk reports with the situation on the ground.

According to the Managing Director of PLEM Construction Mohan Krishna, the road works on the stretch from the bridge are not under their contract.

Krishna was also quick to point out that they will engage the consultant who made the designs and the RA for a way forward.
