K5 million too much?

Letters

SOMETHING is not right with the cost of sealing the Tsak Road in Enga.
At current sealing rates it should cost around K5 million to carry out a double coat of bitumen, including priming works, on the 20km road.
I have heard that it is going to cost K10 million. What’s this for?
Are they doing hot-mix asphalt or what?  If this is true then the authorities, especially the Department of Works, should explain.
