A private contract, with transparency and competition, is $0.5x per kg of concrete.
The status quo is still corruption and it shows in all of our inflated costs covered up by secret contracts. I’d love to dive into the estimated costs for Phase 2 to see why they’re so high - but we can’t, on purpose.
I see what you are talking about. But that's not corruption. Oxford says: "dishonest or fraudulent conduct by those in power, typically involving bribery" and that's not the case here. What you are looking for is transparency.
