National newspaper feature
In a national newspaper feature on Kampala's road works, Gennaro Sirgiovanni, the Managing Director of Stirling Civil Engineering, explained why construction projects often stall, and what is needed to fix the problem.
"Once construction begins, we sometimes discover that the ground conditions are not what we expected. We have to modify the design, which increases the work scope and pushes deadlines further."
"These services take time to move, and until they are relocated, construction can't proceed."

"Government-funded projects always face budgetary pressures. Some contractors go six months or more without getting paid. Without funds, work slows down — or stops completely."
