January 31, MBC organized a round table discussion with key players in the infrastructure industry to discuss possible solutions to Right of Way (RoW) issues faced by various projects. Rules on negotiated sales, guidelines for expropriation proceedings, budgetary appropriation for RoW acquisition, and the benefit of having an infrastructure czar to ensure implementation were among the topics discussed during the meeting.
