Lukashenka vows to fight corruption in construction sector

Alexander Lukashenka on Tuesday said in his state-of-the-nation address at the National Assembly that he would seek to fight corruption in the country's construction sector. "It has been enough with the swindling in the construction sector... I have already given orders to the State Control Committee; I did not advertise it so much. I ordered (them) to find those responsible and make them pay at their own cost. They should not spit into the people's soul", said Lukashenka.

He also said that the construction companies that built bad housing would see their licenses withdrawn.
