construction industry in Malawi. Under the Act, the Council has the mandate to keep and
maintain a register for each category of persons engaged in the construction industry.
The Council is reminding all players in the construction industry that all licenses for the
2022/2023 financial year expired on the 31st of March 2023.As such, the Council is

financial year in compliance with Section20(1)of the NCI Act which stipulates that
“No person shall carry on business in the construction industry in Malawi unless he/she is
