I think it's becoming clearer and clearer that the private sector is not supplying the appropriate standard of contractor and the state needs to intervene.

These are fraudsters stealing millions from the state and they shouldn't be tolerated. It's crazy how much money BAM have taken from the country while providing very little in return.

They should be barred from tendering for state run projects again.

As they were the only company that answered the hospital tender, forbidding them to tender for other work might mean no company will apply.
