PARLIAMENT Putrajaya is partly to blame for the extract cost of RM800 milion for the construction of the East Coast Highway 2, which was largely due to delays caused by the contractors, the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) said.

Putrajaya should pick qualified contractors in stable financial position when awarding government highway contracts in future, PAC said in its report on East Coast Highway 2 that was tabled in the Dewan Rakyat today.
