The committee also emphasised that monitoring must go beyond office reporting, with officers directed to conduct regular and unannounced site inspections.
Officials were also reminded to adopt the “4M” concept — Man, Machine, Material and Method — alongside a stronger delivery culture based on urgency, responsibility, accountability and consistent follow-through.
