Lautoka City Council CEO, Mohammed Anees Khan says the Construction Implementation Unit of the Ministry of Economy is currently undertaking a peer review of the Lautoka Swimming Pool Project.

He revealed this before the Parliamentary Standing Committee on Public Accounts when questioned by SODELPA MP, Aseri Radrodro on the status of the Lautoka Swimming Pool.

Khan says it was a government funded project and they had construction issues.

He says the the Construction Implementation Unit of the Ministry of Economy will be making recommendations after the review and he cannot make further comments.
