Contractors working in Thika West Sub-County have been warned against doing shoddy work especially with regards to business apartments.
Speaking this Friday during the opening of Kilimo apartments in Makongeni, the Sub-County building and construction engineer Martin Muiruri noted that many residents had complained against sub-standard work done by contractors on various projects and warned that they risk not being paid.
"Contractors must carry out their work professionally while ensuring quality. The contractors of Kariminu dispensary in section nine for example will face the law after constructing a very poor building even after the allocation of Ksh 12.5 Million by the county government. As we speak, the walls and the roofs of that building are falling off," he said.
He further warned that contractors who do not comply with required building and construction standards would be blacklisted and would not be considered for future projects by the Sub-County government.
The Kilimo apartments owned by Janet Mugure, a business woman cost 71 million and took one and a half years to complete.
