"content": " Mr. Temporary Deputy Minister, Sir, as we move along, I must admit that, indeed, there are some weaknesses in our local authorities across the country when it comes to the issue of enforcing by-laws; by-laws are there but we have had a major weakness either due to corrupt practices or through politicization at local levels. This has, indeed, had an impact on the efforts of local authorities to enforce the law. However, on record, we have been consulting with other relevant Ministries and as I speak now, we have already submitted a new set of regulations to the Attorney-Generalâs Chamber for approval. Once they are through, they will be gazette; there are a lot of stakeholders consultations within the building industry as a whole to try and improve enforcements, and make it more difficult for somebody to engage in illegal construction. So, we have submitted draft regulations and we are waiting for the clearance from the Attorney- Generalâs Chamber. The regulations are very bulky and they to be gazetted."
