He also acknowledged that there are some technical challenges in meeting the 2025 completion deadline but assured that efforts are being made to resolve these issues.
He also addressed concerns about departmental tenders, stating that no major tender scams have occurred under his department, but a review is underway to ensure transparency.
“Any irregularities found during the review will be dealt strictly,” he said.
