Nearly two years since it was given to a Cabinet sub-committee for review, the draft Engineer’s Bill is still there, as Minister of Public Works Juan Edghill last week explained it was because the current legislative agenda is packed and items are treated in order of priority.
“It is still a draft bill that is awaiting cabinet approval to be placed on the legislative list for debate in the National Assembly. This is just one bill among the many that has to come to the agenda. It is not like it isn’t important or something we are neglecting, it is just that we have a number of things that we are addressing,” Edghill told Stabroek News when contacted for an update.
