Speakers at a seminar of the Constructors Association of Pakistan (CAP) and the Karachi Constructors Association (KCA) discussed challenges facing the construction industry and the country's economic situation.
CAP Chairman Engineer Ashfaq Hussain Shah said, "we must stand united against corrupt elements."
He said the association cannot speak for people indulging in corrupt practices. Contractors, he said, should bring about positive change in their character.
Naeem Kazmi, Vice Chairman of CAP, drew attention to corruption in the province under the guise of 'system'. The inadequate allocation of funds for infrastructure projects across the province and in Karachi means that ongoing construction and maintenance works cannot be completed on schedule.
Engineer Abdul Jabbar Sheikh stated that the tendering process is not transparent; the 'system' has ruined it.
