President Dr. John Magufuli has congratulated the
ministry of Local Government and Regional Administration (TAMISEMI) for the
commendable job it has shown towards maximizing efforts for the development of
health and education sectors respectively. The president has also been
disappointed by the performances resulting into poor supervision shown by water
sector in its various projects going on in the country, and land sector on land
issues and cities development programs. A press statement issued recently by
the Director of State House Communications Gerson Msigwa said that, “the head
of state has noted that since 2010 the government has dished out Tshs. 109
billion to facilitate water projects in various places in the country”.
But to
the great dismay, investigations carried out in these reports has shown that
all projects performed shows that only Tshs. 17 billion has been spent so far. In
view if this, in order to ward off the existing disparities the head of state
has ordered all water experts in all district councils should be supervised directly
by the Permanent Secretary of the ministry of Water and Irrigation. Likewise,
all land and town planning experts from all district councils in the country
should be supervised by the Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Lands, Housing
and Human Settlements so as to strengthen supervision and other activities
being carried out by the two departments and take to task all the concerned
whenever a project is seen to be staggering. The statement said that, the
president is worried about the performances as this is as a result of poor performances
causing lots of grievances among the local community members who complain of
lack of water supply which are supervised by water engineers of the district
councils.
