The Sekyere Kumawu District Education Office which was originally scheduled to be completed in February 2013 is to be completed by the end of 2015.

The project which was awarded in March 2012 at a contract sum of GHS476, 353.99 has delayed mainly due to variations in the contract and irregular funding. The amount has been revised to GHS 942,898.05.

This was disclosed by the Deputy Minister of Education, Hon. Alex Kyeremeh on the floor of Parliament while answering a question posed by Hon. Philip Basoah MP for Kumawu as to what was causing the delay in the completion of the Sekyere Kumawu District Education Office.

Hon. Kyeremeh noted that the project now stands at 62% level of completion with total expenditure to date amounting to GHS 475,600.95.

He further disclosed that the contractor’s claim was being processed for payment and work was expected to resume by June this year, with the outstanding works including tilling, painting, ceiling, plumbing and furnishing expected to be completed by December.
