Secretary for Transport and Public Works Raimundo do Rosario said yesterday that while the government will not draft a framework bill on the city’s urban renewal, it will, however, draft separate bills for different matters concerning the city’s urban renewal process.
Rosario made the remarks while speaking to reporters after a closed-door meeting of the Urban Renewal Council at the Transport Bureau (DSAT) Building yesterday.
Earlier this month, Rosario told lawmakers during a plenary session of the legislature that the Urban Renewal Council had held 18 meetings since its establishment two years ago, adding that none of its members had ever proposed during any of the meetings that the government should draft a bill regulating the city’s urban renewal process. Rosario went on to say that therefore the government had no plans to draft an urban renewal bill.
