Up to 12 months could be shaved off the completion time for major infrastructure projects under plans to be discussed by the Cabinet on Tuesday.

This, ministers will be told, will be done through the National Development Finance Agency (NDFA) providing “expertise” to Government departments in a bid to speed up infrastructure delivery.
