There is a very big risk that some projects might stall because of lack of good will and co-operation from the person who will be succeeding the current Member of Parliament. We would like him when responding to this pressure, to appreciate that there is need for him to consult with the Ministry of Planning, National Development and Vision 2030. This is because there is even another bigger disaster; even the little funds that he has been able to release, is skewed.
