    "content": "Many hon. Members have talked about problems that are experienced in the building industry. Majorly, most of these problems emanate from archaic building code that we are using. The current building code was developed in 1968. There has been a committee that has been working on a reviewed building code. On 25th of this month, the draft building code will be presented to the Prime Minister. He is the one who put up that committee. I think that building code will find its way to this House. Members will have an opportunity to debate. They will have an opportunity to give their input in the proposed law, so that some of the problems that we have experienced such as collapsed buildings and who is responsible for what, can be streamlined. We want also to harmonise some of the laws governing the construction industry under one authority."
