Ministry of Lands says it is developing a bill which when enacted, will provide a necessary operating environment for the real estate sector.
Principal Secretary responsible for Technical Services, Kwame Ngwira, made the remarks in Lilongwe during a Financial Intelligence Authority sensitisation workshop on money laundering and terrorist financing.
Ngwira said the workshop has come due to a tendency of unregistered real estate agencies operating in the country which hurts the country’s economic development.
