Headway in regulation of construction industry

The draft bill was initially presented to the construction industry in September 2014 following the Botswana Institute for Development Policy Analysis’ (BIDPA) recommendations in September 2011. Speaking at the handover in Gaborone yesterday, the CIAB chairperson, Ulf Soderstrom said after many years of trying to put a proposal together, the layman draft’s bill was finally presented to the construction industry before it was circulated broadly to all construction industry organisations and individuals.

“After all inputs were considered and incorporated, the draft bill was sent for legal editing and in August 2015 was handed to the Permanent Secretary of MIST who again circulated it to the major industry organisations,” he said.
