NEWS– A Ugx 3.5Bn contract to have a seed school constructed risks termination following the contractors failure to complete the given work in time.

This comes after the Bushenyi District Public Accounts Committee led by its Chairperson, Muhammad Kamadi recommended the termination of this multi billion contract awarded to KHALSA Development Uganda Ltd.

KHALSA Development Uganda Ltd was contracted to construct Kanyamurera Seed School in Bushenyi District.

The committee’s recommendation is based on the contractor’s failure to complete the work on time.

The contract which began in 2022, was originally scheduled to be completed by August 2024 but was later extended until February 2025.

However in December 2024, the committee has evaluated the progress of the work and is at 50% completion.

This creates a suspicion, the contracted firm will not finish the work in the stipulated time.
