At present, a series of key projects to improve the traffic infrastructure are being carried out nationwide. Therefore, the Ministry of Transport has directed that investors and management boards of these projects tighten discipline and strictly monitor all activities of participating units.
In particular, it is forbidden to perform acts of collusion in order to legalize documents for these projects, to falsely increase workload, to illegally adjust work performance, to take advantage of given authority in order to harass or cause unwanted trouble to related organizations and individuals for personal interests, to force contractors to use designated material mines or suppliers.
In addition, the Transport Ministry has just asked relevant ministries, project investors and management boards to review and report the status of projects in association with Thuan An Group.
In particular, there must be reports on the order and procedure to carry out bidding packages and related projects; on forming, assessing, approving, designing, and making estimates for investment projects; on selecting construction contractors; and on monitoring project progresses as well as quality.
In related news, on May 5, the Government Office released the conclusion of Deputy Prime Minister Tran Hong Ha on different alternatives to expand the HCMC – Long Thanh – Dau Giay Expressway. This expansion is critical, and thus a suitable alternative must be identified as soon as possible.
