The Ministry of Infrastructure and Housing Development has over time decried delays in starting some projects as a result of some unsatisfied unsuccessful bidders who approached courts of law for intervention.
The Ministry that is mandated to deliver public infrastructure for beneficial use by Batswana this week welcomed the decision by the Administration of Justice to treat all cases relating to public tenders before the High Court of Botswana as urgent. While the Ministry respects the rights of any bidder to seek relief from the courts if not satisfied with a tender award process, Ministry Public Relations Officer, Christopher Nyanga says it was always frustrating when such cases took too long to be resolved.
