“GETFund has honoured all payments to contractors for payments request submitted to GETFund up to the close of December 2019. These payments cut across projects in the basic, second cycle and tertiary category,” the statement said.
“All payment not honoured regarding submission made within this time frame are mainly due to unresolved technical anomalies with payments certificates submitted,” it added.
