On the morning of November 8, in front of the gate of Binh Dinh Hospital (Tran Phu Ward, Quy Nhon City, Binh Dinh), a group of people appeared, hanging two banners demanding that Binh Dinh General Hospital Joint Stock Company pay the warranty money to Cotecland Company.
A group of people hung banners in front of Binh Dinh Hospital to collect debt.
Some employees of Binh Dinh Hospital said that the hospital did not owe money to Cotecland Company, and asked the group to disband and not affect the reputation and operations of the hospital.
Immediately afterwards, Tran Phu Ward Police arrived at the scene, confiscated the banner, asked the group to disperse and invited those involved to the headquarters for questioning.
Claim back 22 billion VND warranty money
At the scene, Mr. Ha Phan (in Phu Nhuan District, Ho Chi Minh City) said he was the representative of Cotec Real Estate Investment and Development Joint Stock Company (abbreviated as Cotecland Company, in District 4, Ho Chi Minh City).
According to Mr. Ha Phan, in January 2015, Cotecland Company signed a general construction contract with Binh Dinh General Hospital Joint Stock Company and then signed contract appendices related to the Binh Dinh Provincial General Hospital project - extension (now Binh Dinh Hospital). In 2018, this project was completed and put into operation.
Mr. Ha Phan (right cover) talks with Binh Dinh Hospital staff at the scene.
Cotecland Company has handed over all legal documents related to the above project to Binh Dinh General Hospital Joint Stock Company, including the independent audit report on the final settlement report of Binh Dinh Hospital project, signed on July 3, 2019 by Ho Chi Minh City Auditing and Informatics Services Company Limited.
According to the audit report, the amount that Binh Dinh General Hospital Joint Stock Company must pay to Cotecland Company is 22.9 billion VND. This is the construction warranty amount that Binh Dinh General Hospital Joint Stock Company retained from January 24, 2018 to January 24, 2020 (warranty period of 2 years).
After the warranty expired, Cotecland Company repeatedly contacted Binh Dinh General Hospital Joint Stock Company to work on paying the remaining amount. However, Binh Dinh General Hospital Joint Stock Company has not paid yet.
No agreement on debt
On October 10, Mr. Vo Song Van, General Director of Binh Dinh General Hospital Joint Stock Company, also responded in writing to the press about the incident related to the warranty money for the above-mentioned project.
In particular, Mr. Vo Song Van said that after the acceptance of the project and putting it into use, during the warranty period of the project (from March 2018 to March 2020), the project had many damages. Binh Dinh General Hospital Joint Stock Company has sent many official dispatches to Cotecland Company requesting to survey the project and take measures to overcome the phenomenon of seepage, peeling of wall and floor tiles, especially the phenomenon of structural cracks that have long-term effects on the operation of the building. However, Cotecland Company has not yet implemented.
During that time, Binh Dinh General Hospital Joint Stock Company made some repairs with a total cost of 3.8 billion VND. For major damages such as structural cracks, Binh Dinh General Hospital Joint Stock Company has not found a contractor with sufficient capacity to carry out the work.
Police were present at the scene to resolve the incident.
Currently, Binh Dinh General Hospital Joint Stock Company is hiring units to survey and develop a plan to repair the project with a cost equivalent to the amount that Binh Dinh General Hospital Joint Stock Company is still holding from Cotecland Company... If the repair value is lower than the value held by Cotecland Company, Binh Dinh General Hospital Joint Stock Company will find a financial solution to pay the debt of both parties.
However, Mr. Ha Phan said that Binh Dinh General Hospital Joint Stock Company gave many unreasonable reasons to prolong the warranty payment period. Cotecland Company invited Binh Dinh General Hospital Joint Stock Company to a meeting many times to resolve the matter, but was refused.
