    "content": "The Bill seeks to address various challenges in the construction industry with a view to making the industry more responsive to national development goals and aspirations. As you will appreciate, the construction industry is the core of infrastructure development and maintenance. It relies on professionals, contractors, skilled and unskilled workers to execute all projects undertaken in the country. You will recall that way back in 1967, the Government formed the National Construction Authority, whose objectives then were to assist indigenous contractors to develop their potential and to meaningfully engage in the various activities within the construction industry. The corporation met its mandate at that time, but collapsed because many contractors defaulted on their financial facilities and obligations. Consequently, there was a huge vacuum created. There was a long period of absence of a legal and institutional framework which was required to stimulate, improve and regulate the sector."
