The institution of Engineers Rwanda wants players in the building and construction industry forced to provide their credentials and those of the firms they work for in a new push to implement the law governing the profession.

The law governing architects and engineers, enacted six years ago, compels local and foreign builders to register with the institute before they can undertake any construction work in the country.
