He noted that the structures that have exceeded their useful life require either major rehabilitation or complete reconstruction, especially where repairs have become uneconomical.


“The existing legislative and commissioners’ quarters were constructed in 1976, nearly 50 years ago,” the commissioner said.


“Over the years, successive governments have spent enormous sums on repairs and maintenance, but these have yielded diminishing results.
