The Infrastructure Development Bill: Part 2 – Administration Of The SIPs

The management and administration of the projects envisioned in the Infrastructure Development Bill ("the Bill") is overseen by various committees at different levels of authority. As mentioned in the last article, the Bill brings together the three spheres of government and other stakeholders in various sub-committees, in order to fast-track strategic infrastructure projects and to avoid the projects being delayed by red tape. It acts somewhat retrospectively to empower committees which are already in existence, and which are currently overseeing the 18 Strategic Integrated Projects ("SIPs") which were set out in our previous article. This article will examine the composition and powers of these committees.
