AfricaPress-Tanzania:<\/strong> RUKWA Regional Commissioner (RC) Joachim Wangabo has directed council directors in the region to take legal measures against\u00a0 dishonest village and ward executive officers for allegedly swindled 911m\/-, being the revenue they had collected.<\/p>\n

Greedy revenue collectors from Sumbawanga, Kalambo and Nkasi District councils and Sumbawanga Municipal Council are alleged to have swindled the money instead of banking it.<\/p>\n

Mr Wangabo issued such a directive yesterday before handing over 12 motorcycles given to division officers by President John Magufuli.<\/p>\n

The Head of State met with division officers across the country at a meeting held at the State House in June 2019 and promised to provide them with motorcycles to facilitate their duties.<\/p>\n

The RC directed the culprits to refund the money short of which they would face legal action.<\/p>\n

“According to the Local Government Revenue Collection Information System (LGRCIS), 911,511,525\/- collected as domestic revenue by revenue collectors\u00a0from all four councils\u00a0had yet to be banked by April 30, this year,” explained the RC.<\/p>\n

According to the RC,\u00a059 villages in the region have no primary school while 25 wards have no\u00a0secondary school.<\/p>\n

He further added that the region had 339 villages and 97 wards, but only 201 villages had public dispensaries and health centres were in only 24 wards.<\/p>\n

“When I was launching a strategic plan for preventing and eliminating early marriage and pregnancy during a Year for Child event held in a small town of Namanyere, Nkasi District on February 18, this year\u00a0I handed over a list of villages and wards which had no school and health facilities to district commissioners.<\/p>\n

You have been given motorcycles, make sure you work closely with DCs to ensure residents from your respective precincts are encouraged to construct schools and health facilities,” he added.<\/p>\n

Earlier, Rukwa Regional Administrative Secretary (RAS) Bernard Makali briefed the RC that the region had 32 divisions out of which 12 of them had been given motorcycles.<\/p>\n

On behalf of other division officers Mr Andrew Ngindo appealed to the government to set aside a budget for running and managing their offices.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
