    "content": "The other issue is the speed of construction of these dams. Dams which are constructed by Government agencies are largely very slow compared to the ones that are constructed by Non- Governmental Organisations (NGOs). We have dams all over the place which are constructed by NGOs and Government. How come when an NGO is constructing a dam, it takes a very short time? Within no time, people start benefitting from that project. However, Government agencies construct dams year in, year out. We construct them for years. People kept hearing about Thwake Dam from I do not know which year. We continue talking about it every year. Our people down there expect that when they hear a Government project, within a year, they can start benefitting from it. So, it is important that we note that the speed of construction of dams has to be dealt with."
