We have been previously told a few bits and pieces by representatives of UL about governance being an issue. We have heard this and it is long known in the Committee of Public Accounts that there have been problems. The governing authority put in place a new set of policies and procedures for the acquisition of large premises and buildings. This is welcome and I want to get an insight. Has UL signed off on any new major infrastructural project using the new policies? Can the witnesses give us a personal assurance, because this is what we are looking for, that they are unaware of any issue with respect to these new projects because of the structures that have been set up?
