Africa-Press<\/a> – Tanzania<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>COUNCILS in Rukwa Region have collected over 8.42bn\/-, equivalent to 88.84 per cent below the target of over 9.48bn\/- during the 2020\/21 financial year.<\/p>\n

Rukwa Regional Commissioner, Joseph Mkirikiti directed the councils’ directors to ensure councillors are closely supervised in revenue collections to curb defaulters.<\/p>\n

“I highly commend Sumbawanga Municipal Council for leading the pace by registering an impressive record by collecting over 2.7bn\/- which is equivalent of 106.68 per cent and surpassed collection target of 2.54bn\/-,” he said.<\/p>\n

He urged the other three councils to borrow a leaf from Sumbawanga Municipal Council. Rukwa Region has four councils including Sumbawanga municipal council, Nkasi, Kalambo and, Sumbawanga District Councils.<\/p>\n

He further noted that behind Sumbawanga Municipal Council is Sumbawanga District Council which collected 2.3bn\/-, equivalent to 94.3 per cent below the target of 2.5bn\/-, followed by Kalambo that collected 1.5bn\/-, 81.81 per cent but below 1 8bn\/- target.<\/p>\n

While Nkasi District Council had collected 2.4bn\/- equipment to 71 per cent of the collection of 2.56bn\/-.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the RC further explained that four councils in the region collectively issued free interest loans valued at 403.82m\/- to special groups of youths, women and people living with disabilities using internal sources during the 2020\/21 FY.<\/p>\n

He further said the free interest loans issued by all four councils is equivalent to 54.3 per cent below the collection target of 742.39m\/-.<\/p>\n

He warned that any council that will either defy or fail to adhere to government directives of issuing such loans from its internal sources to the special groups will be disciplined.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
