On the fears expressed by contractors that contracts might be revoked by incoming government, Akwashiki said that government is continuous process and all viable contracts would be sustained.
She stressed that if there had been any slowing down of projects by contractors, it could only be a result of non assent to the 2015 budget, and not because of of fears of revocation.
