Panama’s comptroller Federico Humbert inspected the Amador Convention Center project on Thursday, February 21.

A technical report prepared for the  Tourism Authority of Panama (ATP), listed 2, 81 incidents or failures committed by the contractor, such as changes to the design, lack of final plans and personnel and work performed without the correct permits.

During the tour, Humbert indicated that he will not hesitate to execute a $98 million compliance bond, issued by the insurer ASSA. 

Humbert noted that despite the 2,000  incidents found in the work, the$197.3 million project does not present structural failures, but jobs that have not been corrected by the contractor.

He said that the China State Construction Engineering Corporation Ltd., which is part of the consortium together with Panama’s  Construcciones Civiles Generales (Cocige), has the financial capacity to complete the work, reports La Prensa.
