supervise the work. He will be under your instructions but will be paid by Government.

The Government will further pay 12% for quantities required to enable contracts to be entered into locally. The 1% will be reckoned on the amount of the tender which may be accepted for such work. The Government will call for tenders shortly as soon as the necessary documents have been prepared.

The precise form of contract to be entered

into between the Government and the contractors will be determined in a few days' time.

I have etc.,
