ROKO Construction Company has assured Parliament that construction of the new Parliament building is expected to be completed by March 2027, with the official handover of the facility scheduled for June 2027.
The commitment was made by ROKO Construction Company Chairman, Mark Koehler, while appearing before Parliament’s Committee on Commissions, Statutory Authorities and State Enterprises (COSASE).
Koehler was responding to questions from Members of Parliament regarding the progress of the construction project and when the new facility would be ready for occupation.
The committee, chaired by Hon. Muwada Nkunyingi, sought clarification from the contractor on the project’s completion timeline and the expected date Parliament would officially take over the building.
In his response, Koehler assured the legislators that construction works are projected to be completed by March 2027, while the formal handover to Parliament is expected to take place in June 2027.
The assurance provides Parliament with a projected timeline for the completion and eventual occupation of its new premises, as legislators continue to monitor progress on the major construction project.
