The government’s Road Projects Coordination Group failed to coordinate such projects by different government entities or public utilities to ensure that disruptions to the public are kept to a minimum, the Commission of Audit (CA) said in a hard-hitting report yesterday.
The report can be downloaded from the commission’s website http://www.ca.gov.mo/, in Chinese and Portuguese language versions.According to the report, the government set up the interdepartmental Road Projects Coordination Group in 2009, with the aim of reducing the adverse impact of roadwork projects on residents. The group, coordinated by the Transport Bureau (DSAT), consists of DSAT officials, Civic and Municipal Affairs Bureau (IACM) officials, officials from a number of other government entities, as well as representatives from seven public utilities.
