Contractors are now accusing the government is trying to set up “a legislative loophole” in the Contractor's Compensation Act to not pay them, Ahram Gate reports. The law stipulates that only contractors who have made timely deliveries on their projects would be compensated. Sahl El Damrawy, a member of the Cairo Chambers of Commerce’s building division, believes that part of the reason why “over 96%” of contractors haven’t met deadlines was because the government stopped paying them regularly.
