Gwen eyes legal suit vs. DPWH over unfinished project

CEBU - Gov. Gwen Garcia is set to ask the Provincial Board’s authority to take legal action against the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) over the unfinished road work along U.N. Avenue which has long been causing inconvenience to Cebuano motorists.

Garcia expressed her disappointment at the seemingly refusal of DPWH officials to go into a compromise agreement with the concerned contractor of the project in hopes to finally complete the road upgrade.

This project has been stalled for 3 years now due to legal issues between DPWH and its contractor.

“I will proceed in accordance with my duty to the Cebuanos,” Garcia said on filing civil, administrative, and criminal cases against DPWH during her recent meeting with DPWH officials and her legal consultants. 

She had called the attention of the DPWH officials on what can be done to fix this unfinished project which has also caused traffic jams in the area, pestering motorists for years now. While a compromise agreement has been proposed to give way to the project’s completion, it seems DPWH is adamant on this proposed action. (CL)
