Mr. Kapoma says it is unacceptable to see roads develop defects a few months after being constructed.

He notes that roads constructed years back are still intact, wonders why recently constructed roads mostly by Chinese contractors have already started showing signs of being damaged.

Mr. Kapoma says this shows that government does not do a thorough job when awarding road contracts.

Mr. Kapoma is urging government to ensure contracts are given to deserving contractors.
