The report indicated that some of the water projects have failed to take off despite having been fully funded by the government.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe government is pumping lots of money to construct water supply projects, but some of them fail to provide water, for that matter, we should identify and manage sustainable water sources that would ensure reliable water services throughout the year,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Mr Chongolo pointed to a 590m\/- water project in Bukoba district that has failed to take off due to various implementation irregularities, including sabotage caused by politicians in the region. The project was initiated five years ago to supply water services in Bukoba District.<\/p>\n<p>He directed the Regional Commissioner, Major General Charles Mbuge to investigate and bring into book those who are sabotaging implementation of the projects.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe shouldn&#8217;t let those sabotaging such projects go unnoticed, they should face legal punishment, as they cause delay in provision of services to the people,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier, the Regional Manager of Rural Water Supply and Sanitation Agency (RUWASA), Warioba Santa said over 200 villages in Kagera region lack clean and safe water.<\/p>\n<p>He however said the RC has set out strategic plans aimed at availing water services in the region.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Chongolo has directed Major Gen Mbuge to take measures aimed at ensuring fairness to coffee growers in the region.<\/p>\n<p>He made the directives following complaints from coffee growers on the need for coffee buyers to stop making payment to farmers through mobile transfers, saying the process was costly.<\/p>\n<p>Mr Chongolo called on the regional leaders to ensure payments are made in line with the legal rules as well as making payments on time.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/tanzania\">Tanzania<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Tanzania.
