On May 26, Mr. Le Minh Phuoc, Deputy Director of the Management Board of Civil and Industrial Construction Investment Projects of Bac Lieu Province, said that the construction unit of the Gia Rai Martyrs Cemetery Repair Investment Project had just been administratively fined nearly 350 million VND and had its contract terminated.
Construction started in early 2021. Up to now, the Gia Rai Martyrs Cemetery Repair Investment Project has only completed about 70% of the volume.
Specifically, the Gia Rai Martyrs Cemetery Repair Investment Project (Package No. 18) has a total cost of more than 51 billion VND, from the state budget, invested by the Management Board of Investment Projects for Construction of Civil and Industrial Works of Bac Lieu Province. The construction unit is TS Company.
According to contract No. 60, dated December 21, 2020, the implementation period is 19 months, from the date of site handover (January 6, 2021). However, the construction progress of this project is very slow, causing outrage among local public opinion.
According to Mr. Phuoc, the reasons for the slow progress are frequent heavy rains, the impact of the Covid-19 epidemic, high tides from the Bac Lieu River overflowing National Highway 1 into the construction site causing flooding, and the sharp increase in material prices... In particular, the subjective reason is that the financial situation of the contractor, TS Company, is very difficult, not meeting the construction capacity to ensure construction progress.
The investor has repeatedly reminded and forced the contractor to commit to speeding up the construction progress; at the same time, it has issued a decision to impose an administrative fine of nearly 350 million VND due to slow progress and contract violations.
The Management Board of Investment Projects for Construction of Civil and Industrial Works of the province has proposed and submitted to the People's Committee of Bac Lieu province permission to terminate the construction contract with TS Company.

For the remaining volume, worth more than 21 billion VND, the investor has signed a contract with a new construction unit, Kieu Khanh Construction Company Limited, to promote and soon complete the project. This unit is focusing on speeding up the construction progress, completing the main items such as: yard, finishing painting of temple blocks, caretaker's house, water pavilion, surrounding fence, main gate... the volume currently reaches about 70% of the total contract value. The project is expected to be completed in July 2024, on the occasion of the 77th anniversary of War Invalids and Martyrs Day (July 27, 1947 - July 27, 2024).
