LAST WEEK IN PARLIAMENT:
The government has said that, the construction of
the administrative buildings for the Nyamagana district council which started
in 2008 about ten years ago is not yet completed in time due to lack of donor
funds, the parliament has been informed. The deputy minister of state in
President’s office responsible for local government and regional administration
George Kakunda revealed this in the parliament last week during question and
answer session. The minister was responding to the question which was directed
to the ministry of local government by the Nyamagana legislator
The legislator also added a
supplementary question and queried that why is it that most of the government’s
projects are slacking and never be completed on time. Responding to these, the
deputy minister assured the legislator that, the government had set aside Tshs.
53 bn/- for the development projects slated for the district councils in the
country and Tshs. 80 bn/- for regional development projects. In view of this,
from the money already set aside, Tshs. 220/- million will be apportioned to
help complete the construction of the Nyamagana district council’s administrative
office buildings, while others will be spent in other buildings for the same
purposes which are also under construction in other areas in the country.
