Chairman of Gia Lai Provincial People's Committee Pham Anh Tuan has requested Ia Pa Commune People's Committee to review and clarify the responsibilities of the investor and related organizations and individuals. At the same time, direct the Ia Pa Commune Project Management Board to overcome the project's shortcomings; inspect, urge, and closely monitor the repair process of the units. Report the results of the remediation to the Department of Construction before November 15.
According to PV's research, in early April 2025, the People's Committee of the old Ia Pa district approved the investment policy to repair the above two routes with a total cost of 2.2 billion VND (each route 1.1 billion VND), starting in May and expected to be completed in August 2025.
These two projects are invested by the old Ia Pa District Investment and Construction Project Management Board (now Ia Pa Commune Construction Investment Project Management Board); Quang Minh Tuan Company Limited is the construction unit and Quang Minh Phat Joint Stock Company is the supervision consultant.
After 3 months of construction, the project has completed the entire volume. However, after a short time, both roads have appeared damaged, peeling, and sunken, affecting people's travel and causing public skepticism about the quality of the project. People have even filed a complaint with the authorities because they suspect there are signs of lax management, leading to construction not in accordance with approved design documents, cuts and signs of project leakage.
From the inspection results, the Department of Construction found that the entire volume of repairs to potholes and subsidence on an area of over 2,900m2 within the design repair area of Quang Trung Street was damaged; in particular, the locations of the asphalt leaves protecting the road surface were basically stable. On Hung Vuong Street, the repair volume of potholes, subsidence, and plastic blades on an area of over 7,000m2 (under the repair scope according to the design) is all damaged. These two routes also have many damaged points outside the design scope.
The Department of Construction determined that the scale of investment in repairing the two routes was inappropriate, fragile, temporary, and did not ensure investment efficiency in terms of both economy and technology.
Speaking with Lao Dong, Mr. Le Tien Manh - Chairman of Ia Pa Commune People's Committee - said that this week, the locality will hold a meeting to review the responsibilities of the investor and related parties in implementing the repair of the two roads.
According to Mr. Manh, after checking, there were no signs of withdrawal as reported by the citizen, because 1 project (Quang Trung Street) was under warranty; the remaining project (Hung Vuong Street) was under construction and had not been accepted or paid. Up to now, the People's Committee of the commune has not yet received the handover of these two routes due to serious damage, risking safety for traffic participants and is in the process of handling complaints from citizens.
