The contractor for the $1.4b  Port Kaituma stelling yesterday said that serious flaws that have arisen in the structure were due to the poor design for the project.

In a release yesterday, the company, International Import and Supplies, located at Lot 15 Garnett Street, and owned by Parmeshwar Jagmohan, stated that its aim is to address recent misinformation circulating about the Port Kaituma Stelling construction project and in so doing, correct any inaccuracies and protect the company’s reputation.  

According to the statement, International Import and Supplies was awarded the contract to construct the north west Stelling on December 30, 2022, through a process of public tender. The contractor’s scope was limited to the construction of the physical structure, while the design and project supervision were undertaken separately by a local consultancy firm.
