The Roads Authority (RA) has terminated its contract with Hema, Dika and Fargo construction companies who were working on the Ntchisi- Dzaleka M7 road.

RA spokesperson Portia Kajanga has confirmed of the development saying there were a number of challenges that they encountered with the three companies hence the decision.

Without mentioning the challenges, Kajanga says currently they are in the process of identifying another contractor with a target of resuming the works in November this year.

Our visit to the site today, found that some of the equipment has been withdrawn and according to Kajanga they have been taken to another site.

Meanwhile, CSAT Executive Director Willy Kwambwandira has expressed concern over the authority’s decision to terminate the contracts.
