The long-standing stalled facility in Kilak South Constituency in Amuru district has been characterised by poor workmanship and non-compliance with expected quality standards due to technicalities meted by various contractors 

Sr. Dr. Akiror noted that the project did not meet expected standards, pointing to issues that could compromise both safety and service delivery for learners and directed the contractors to immediately correct all underlying defects therein
