He said what is holding the commencement of the cleanup project is qualification of contractors who will handle the jobs in phases. ''once that is done you will be rest assured that by this November, we will commence the clean up exercise''

While addressing the issue of time wastage on the project, Dr. Dekil said “The process of remediating a site is a very thorough one and time consuming. We don’t want to do this the way they know it to be, which means to rush it and get it done in a wrong way. For you to remediate a site, there is a lot of desk work involved, the process of remediating this one site has taken us time.

While calling for patience on the clean up exercise he said “The task of remediating a polluted site is enormous. We appeal for patience so that we don’t make any mistake. We will take our time to development the remediation plan for each site.”
