• 5 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: You are all aware that in the last financial year because of the current trends of drought, provision of relief food and other unforeseen things that happened, a lot of budgetary allocations were reduced in all Ministries. That could have been one of the reasons some of the projects were not implemented. However, I want to assure the hon. Member that I will follow up to see how we can make up for those projects. view
• 5 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, one of the financial undoing of the Regional Development Authorities Ministry is that they heavily rely on donor funding.

• 5 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, the Ministry does not decide where to put up pans or sink boreholes in any district. This is done at the district level through what we call the District Steering Group (DSG) chaired by the District view
