"I am sure you know that that building in Gwarinpa was not supervised by any of our agencies.
It was basically handled by the FHA under very lose corporate governance issues because I saw their preliminary report and as you all know, that builder was directed to stop work in March this year.
Unfortunately, he continued and because of the weakness in the system, nobody stopped him", he said.
The FCT minister also said the presence of a material testing laboratory would ensure that the absence of building collapses.
