Africa-Press – Botswana. <\/strong><\/span>Efforts to address challenges bedeviling Molepolole were hampered by the COVID-19 pandemic, residents have been told.<\/b><\/p>\n

MP for Molepolole South, Mr Kabo Morwaeng told a kgotla meeting at Ntloedibe Ward on Tuesday that funds had to be diverted towards buying vaccines in order to save people\u2019s lives.<\/p>\n

He also updated them on government\u2019s decision to hive off some villages from the Kweneng District saying it would make it easier for them to get the services they needed.<\/p>\n

MP Morwaeng further assured them that all internal road projects would be implemented through the Constituency Community Project.<\/p>\n

\u201cPaving of roads which were not completed will also be included as they are also damaged. And I will also make sure that projects are completed on time,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The MP told residents that government was doing its best to resolve the water shortage problem besieging the village.<\/p>\n

On shortage of medication, Mr Morwaeng stated that the Ministry of Health was addressing the issue.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe ministry held a press conference on Monday concerning this issue and it is being resolved as there was a delay in the arrival of medication imported from other countries,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Earlier, Ntloedibe Ward councillor, Mr Geoffrey Sibisibi had expressed concern about the shortage of water in the village.<\/p>\n

He complained that Water Utilities Corporation continued to bill residents even those who did not have water supply in their households.<\/p>\n

Cllr Sibisibi had also complained about the poor state of roads, particularly the Molepolole\/Thamaga one which he said was not safe to use and therefore called for its maintenance.<\/p>\n

One resident, Ms Makgabelo Mosokotso told the area MP that parents were struggling to get uniform for their children following the imposition of a ban on the importation of school uniform.<\/p>\n

Ms Mosokotso also complained about late payment of Village Development Committee (VDC) members\u2019 salaries and called for increment of Ipelegeng allowances.<\/p>\n

For his part, Archbishop Kenosi Sekaname complained about high plot prices which he said disadvataged churches especially allocation of plots by the land board had stalled.<\/p>\n

Other concerns raised by residents included escalating numbers of passion killings, poor service delivery as well as poor drainage in the village.<\/p>\n

Some residents also wanted a fitness centre in the village while others suggested that the Ikago centre be used as a rehabilitation centre.<\/p>\n

Regarding land allocation, sub-land board officer, Ms Patience Kaego, said for churches to be allocated land they had to follow procedure and make proposals as required.<\/p>\n
