Ravi Singh, president of the Federation of Nepal Construction Entrepreneurs, has said that construction entrepreneurs have been given sick contracts in a prejudicial manner.
He said this at a dialogue program with stakeholders on ‘Sick Contract Management’ organized by the Nepal Infrastructure Journalists Society in collaboration with the Federation of Nepali Construction Entrepreneurs in Kathmandu on Tuesday. He said that the contract was broken in such a way that the construction entrepreneur became a ‘victim’. He said that this step of the government has brought construction entrepreneurs to a state of collapse. He accused that an attempt was made to eliminate construction entrepreneurs.
‘A contract that has been broken for 15 years has been broken. But, has the project chief been taken action during this 15-year period? No. Rs 3.42 billion in work performance of a company has been confiscated. Is that company now eligible to operate?,’ he said, ‘Will action be taken against employees who do not extend their term for 29 months or not?’
He said that breaking contracts will not only affect the infrastructure sector, but also the economic sector. ‘Breaking contracts affects the supply chain. That will affect the industries,' he said, 'it will affect the entire economy.'
Construction entrepreneurs have already been insulted. On top of that, he said that contracts have been broken without the construction entrepreneurs being able to get up.
He said that contracts have become unhealthy when leaders prioritize only the central projects of their constituencies. 'As responsible as the political leadership is, the secretaries, directors general of the departments and project heads are also equally responsible. Contracts worth 460 million are being awarded with a budget allocation of 1 million rupees. There is no preparatory work,' he said, 'Now, all the contracts have been broken. They are not objective but propaganda.'
He also said that the government should work to prevent contracts from becoming unhealthy. 'As much as the contract was allowed to be broken, The government should be able to work so diligently to prevent contracts from becoming unhealthy in the future,' he said. 'Similarly, the policy of the National Bank of Nepal to arbitrarily blacklist construction entrepreneurs has also made contracts unhealthy. The mistake made by one company in a JV contract has caused other companies to suffer.'
