The collapse of Sigiri bridge has been hijacked by opposition, who are desperate to make political scores out of this accident that has led to some people being injured. The tragedy happened a few hours after NASA presidential candidate had been booed and heckled by the people of Budalangi.
The following questions should be answered before directing the blame to Jubilee government out of sheer ignorance.
1. HAS the contractor left the site?
2. HAS the bridge been handed over to the government officially?
3. Is it not still under construction?
History is full of collapsed bridges even in some very progressive countries. It could be due to geological issues or contractor's fault. If the government had officially taken over the bridge from the contractor, then people could talk of lost money.
If the contractor is still at the site, then it is his responsibility and he is expected to ensure the bridge is completed and meets all quality standards
And true to this fact, the Chinese Company building the bridge has taken full responsibility, not Jubilee Party or the government. The rest is political fart!
