[size=45]The Federal Integrity Commission monitored, on Wednesday, a waste of 16 billion dinars in the implementation of the Martyrs Tunnel and Bridge project in Kirkuk, in addition to identifying various legal and technical violations during the three stages of implementation.[/size]
[size=45]Statement of the Federal Integrity Commission:
Integrity: Implementing a project in Kirkuk worth nearly (16) billion dinars in violation of government contract instructions.[/size]
[size=45]The Federal Integrity Commission confirmed that it had monitored violations that accompanied the implementation of the Martyrs’ Tunnel and Bridge project in Kirkuk, noting that the referral of the project in its three stages came in violation of the instructions for implementing government contracts.[/size]
[size=45]The Government Media and Communications Office, speaking about the operation, stated that the Kirkuk Investigation Office had revealed violations in referring a project from the Government Contracts Department in the governorate to the implementing companies in three phases. The first was to build the Martyrs’ Intersection Tunnel at a cost of (9,384,465,000) nine billion dinars, and the second was to complete the Martyrs’ Intersection Bridge and Tunnel - Celebration Square with the works of the approaches at a cost of (4,368,592,000) four billion dinars, indicating that the third phase of the project was to rehabilitate and pave the street from the Exhibition Bridge to the Celebration Square, with the organization of the bridge intersections with a length of (2) km at a cost of (2,182,561,000) two billion dinars.[/size]
[size=45]The Media Office continued, explaining that the audit report issued by the External Audit Division in the Kirkuk office included noting violations represented by referring the first and third phases of the project through direct lawsuits to the companies implementing the project, in violation of the instructions for implementing government contracts.[/size]
[size=45]The office pointed out that there were three change orders in the project to construct the Martyrs’ Intersection Tunnel, which confirms the failure to comply with the instructions for implementing government contracts No. (2 of 2014), which stipulated that the conditions, specifications, quantity schedules, maps, etc., should be accurate to avoid making changes or additions during implementation. In addition, implementing the project in three stages led to an overlap in the work paragraphs and the project was halted for a period of (168) days, which caused harm to the public interest.[/size]
[size=45]The Media Office explained that the work team delegated a specialized technical committee from the Kirkuk Roads and Bridges Directorate, which was tasked with on-site inspection of the project and stating the extent of its implementation according to the technical specifications. The committee’s report indicated several observations, including: treating some stations with concrete pouring, and the occurrence of concavity at the end of the bridge and the beginning of the path coming from Al-Wasiti neighborhood, down to Al-Quds Street, which requires paving and leveling on both sides.[/size]
[size=45]He noted the organization of a formal report, to be presented, along with the reports of the External Audit Division and the delegated technical committee, before the judge of the Kirkuk Investigation Court, which is specialized in examining integrity cases, to complete the legal procedures and identify the negligent parties.[/size]
