ISLAMABAD: A meeting of a sub-committee of the Senate Standing Committee on Communication showed serious concern over awarding the Tranche-III project contract to the Ningxia Communication Construction (NXCC) and directed to submit all documents presented before the court in the case involving the NXCC.
The sub-committee met on Friday under the chairmanship of Senator Kamil Ali Agha. Members of the Sub-Committee expressed serious concern over the absence of senior management from the relevant departments during the meeting, noting that junior officers who attended provided misleading statements.
During the meeting, Senator Kamil Ali Agha sought clarification regarding the letter reportedly written by the National Highway Authority (NHA) to the Asian Development Bank (ADB). He further summoned the consultant firm hired for the Tranche-III project for a detailed briefing in the upcoming meeting.
Additionally, Senator Abro, while mentioning that the Rustum Associates Dynamic Constructors (RADC) is a sister company of NXCC, sought detailed information regarding the contract awarded to RADC for rehabilitation works under the Lodhran–Multan project. The Committee resolved to continue its examination of the matter and directed NHA to ensure the presence of senior management in the next meeting for an accurate and transparent briefing.
