SEZ hearings under way

Country-wide public
hearings, organised by
the Department of Trade
and Industry, are under
way until March 8 to give
members of the public,
organised labour and
business an opportunity to
express their views on the
Special Economic Zones
(SEZ) Bill and Policy.
The purpose of the Bill,
which was gazetted by
the Minister of Trade and
Industry, Dr Rob Davies on
January 23, is to broaden
the scope and composition
of dedicated industrial areas
and to support industrial
decentralisation.
