Monday, 24 July 2023 07:44

The Department of Infrastructure 'needs a complete overhaul' and a 'change in culture and mindset,' according to the Chamber of Commerce.

The group has released a statement, following the news that Chris Thomas was asked to step down from his role as Infrastructure Minister.

It says it would like to see a change in attitude so there is greater involvement from, and in collaboration with, all stakeholders who depend on the DOI.

Chamber adds that it would be happy to contribute to this type of input from its wide range of 'knowledgeable business leaders.'
