The State Department for Public Works has agreed to have construction managers recognised in the law alongside other professionals in the building sector after a petition from their umbrella body.

The petition presented to Principal Secretary State Department for Public Works Joel Arumonyang notes the lack of a legal framework for construction managers or construction project managers in the country.
