A team of lawmakers, including the chairs of two parliamentary committees, has inspected the under-construction new parliament building and expressed serious concern over its prolonged delay. The project, which was scheduled to be completed in three years, remains unfinished after seven years, prompting the team to urge that construction not be delayed further.
Lawmakers Seek Update on Construction
During the inspection, the lawmakers gathered information from the project side about the building’s current status, its physical progress and the problems and challenges affecting construction. The visit gave the team an opportunity to hear directly about the work under way and the issues facing the project.
The inspection focused on the gap between the original three-year completion plan and the seven years that have passed without the building being finished. The lawmakers expressed serious concern about that extended timeline and stressed the need to prevent further delay.
The team included the chairs of two parliamentary committees, alongside other lawmakers. Their visit brought parliamentary committee leadership to the construction site to review progress and obtain an account of the project’s condition from those involved on the project side.
Delay Remains a Central Concern
The building’s continued unfinished state, despite the passage of seven years, was the central issue raised during the monitoring visit. The original schedule had allowed three years for completion. The lawmakers’ concern underscored the scale of the delay against that planned timeframe.
Rather than relying only on the elapsed time, the team also sought information on physical progress and the difficulties encountered during construction. Those details were part of the information gathered from the project side during the inspection. The available account does not specify the progress figures or identify the particular challenges discussed.
The lawmakers urged that the work should not face further delay. Their appeal followed the review of the site and the information provided about the project’s current status. No revised completion date or specific measures to address the delay were included in the information available about the visit.
The inspection put the unfinished parliament building and its extended construction timeline under parliamentary scrutiny. With the project seven years into a schedule originally set for three, the lawmakers’ message was clear: construction should not be delayed further.
