OPINION: I have low expectations of these upcoming national elections

Posted by on
Construction Professional Zuko Peter does not think the upcoming elections are likely to bring significant changes., but he believes it is crucial for the Construction and Built Environment (CBE) industry to voice its expectations because active participation in the elections is essential to address systemic issues.

In my opinion, the upcoming national elections will not bring about significant changes compared to previous ones. Things are likely to remain the same or even worsen after the elections.

Despite my low expectations, I believe it is crucial for the Construction and Built Environment (CBE) industry to voice its expectations. As industry professionals, we are being exploited by companies owned by politicians who prioritize self-enrichment. It is detrimental to our industry to be infiltrated by incompetent and unqualified individuals. The government must ensure that these individuals, at the very least, possess an educational background comparable to other sectors.

Furthermore, active participation in the elections by the CBE industry is essential to address the systemic issues within our industry. Voting out the current government is a step towards restoring dignity and recognition to our careers.

If the CBE industry and professionals actively engage in these elections, there is hope for positive outcomes. We can anticipate the creation of employment opportunities, the eradication of corruption, and increased involvement of industry professionals in decision-making processes. This will prevent the undue influence of politically connected individuals on our industry.
