    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I am happy because clauses 15, 16 and 17 are introducing a building code for the NCA. We have been seeing structures mushrooming all over the place. If you look at the speed at which foreign companies, for example, Chinese are putting up structures — I am not saying it is disturbing or worrying — are they in conformity with the NCA standards? We know the minimum duration a slab should be left to cure but sometimes we ask ourselves if they really follow those rules and regulations. The proposed law is introducing a penalty that will ensure that people in the construction industry comply with best practice and the requirements we need as a country. As much as we encourage investors, we will also get value for money and quality structures. Finally, on NCA carrying out regular inspections on various sites, it is good so that should there be a situation where a contractor is doing shoddy work, we can get hold of him on time and rectify the situation before it gets out of hand. With those few remarks, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I beg to support."
