Africa-Press – Mozambique. <\/strong><\/span>The Mozambican minister of Public Works, Housing and Water Resources said on Monday that more than 60% of construction companies in the country should not have a permit, admitting that this scenario jeopardises the quality of works.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe found that more than 60% of these [construction] companies have licences that they shouldn\u2019t have,\u201d said Jo\u00e3o Machatine, quoted today by the Mozambican Information Agency (AIM).<\/p>\n

Machatine was addressing a seminar on the theme \u201cEffects of Climate Change in Mozambique\u201d, promoted by the Order of Engineers of Mozambique (OEM), in Maputo.<\/p>\n

Many contractors, he continued, do not have the technical capacity to work in the sector, despite having the administrative capacity.<\/p>\n

Minister Machatine also criticised the proliferation of fake engineers, considering the situation \u2018worrying\u2019.<\/p>\n

Even so, Machatine urged caution in dealing with irregularities in the civil construction sector, discouraging \u201cthe banning of offenders\u201d, on the grounds that jobs may be at risk.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf we move to the radical position of banning all substandard contractors, the economy, one way or another, is going to suffer, because these companies, whether in the field of construction or consulting, also employ people,\u201d Machatine said.<\/p>\n

Sanctions, he continued, must be applied, but the emphasis must be on capacity-building.<\/p>\n

Jo\u00e3o Machatine highlighted the importance of creating a Superior Council of Public Works to promote discipline in the sector. \u201cThis is foreseen in the decree creating the Ministry of Public Works, Housing and Water Resources, and the Order [of Engineers of Mozambique] is part of this institution,\u201d Machatine said, adding: \u201cThe Council will soon have its first meeting.\u201d<\/p>\n
