4. The Government's implementing agent for the building of the headquarters of the Pan African Parliament (PAP), is the Department of Public Works (DPW). Construction on the site in Midrand has not gone ahead due to related environmental impact assessment issues. Given the project's budget escalations as reported by DPW, National Treasury has advised that alternative procurement methods be considered. The Department has escalated the lack of progress on the project through its principals to the political leadership of the responsible department. The new target is to complete the headquarters of the PAP by 2016.
