Each year the Government pumps in a great amount of money towards the Fiji Roads Authority.

What concerns me the most is that here in Labasa, we see the subcontractors on the roads on a daily basis with road repair and maintenance signs doing their work and yet, I believe the condition of the main street and other roads in Labasa Town are in a pathetic state.

I wonder who actually inspects all these jobs and progressively authorises payments for all these road repair works.

Furthermore I do not understand the logic behind engaging one contractor, then thereafter, there are two or three subcontractors who deploy their workmen to do the job. Why are there so many middlemen involved?
