payment for work done
J.Lo sued for not settling her jet bills. A millionaire superstar yet fails to pay her bill for services rendered.Now in the country PM AAB directed all bills must be paid within 3 weeks by all ministries, agencies, state governments and departments. I like that. It is a good move which I think it could ease the financial burden of the contractors handling government projects. But there is the complacency rule that might derailed his direct order. The government officers or the state governments may not heed his order. Few days ago Samy said that the contractors must submit bills in proper documentations before payment can be executed. No checking by his officers on the work done? Before payment is executed, his officers and that applied to the other ministries, to certify that the work is done according to specifications. The engineers must go down to the ground. They shouldnt sit in the offices waiting for the contractors. I had dealing with state governments or agencies during the course of my employment. Local orders sent with proper documentations yet it took them ages to settle bills. I believe it happens to many companies dealing with the federal and state governments. So I hope this directive would make it a norm that payment is done accordingly.
