The National Construction Authority (NCA) has introduced new measures to address the issue of rogue contractors and unlicensed buildings in the country.
This development follows NCA's launch of the National Building Code, which introduces stricter regulations on building construction to tackle critical issues, such as the frequent collapse of structures in major commercial and residential areas.
The code proposes stringent terms for the licensing of buildings, authorisation for construction, and penalties for contractors whose buildings are found to be unsafe.
At the launch of the new regulations for the construction industry, Lands Cabinet Secretary Alice Wahome emphasised that the government will now enforce harsher penalties on contractors whose buildings collapse.
