Fellow citizens from Arua, It very disgusting to say the least. It is a reflection of the type of leadership we have in Arua District; from the RDC to LC-V to whoever.... When services are not delivered we are very quick to blame the Central government.
Implementation of government or local government projects requires proper planning and active finance and planning committee comprising the CAO, RDC (overseer of government programmes), and of course the LC-V who is the "governor" of the district. To begin with one of the them has not been in the office (because he is studying at a univeristy), the other is fighting everbody in the district (the Municpality inclusive) and the CAO is left to handle everything from planning to accounting for funds. What would you expect!!! In my view for any local government system to work, we must have appropriate structures in place and clear headed people in the structures to manage for effective implementation of projects. Proprer project planning is therefore a pre-quisite for effective service delivery, which comprises the following stages; DEFINITION OF THE SCOPE OF WORKS, PREPARATION OF PROCUREMENT DOCUMENTS, TENDERING AND AWARD, COMMISSIONING THE CONTRACTOR, ACTUAL CONSTRUCTION STAGE, TESTING & COMMISSIONING THE PROJECT AND THE FINAL HANDOVER. All these stages have a finite time frame that can not be circumvented. Therefore, if funds are returned like the above situation, it is a reflection of proper planning on the part the part of those charged in the District. It also shows that our District leaders have failed our people. --- On Mon, 6/21/10, Patrick Okuni <paok...@yahoo.com> wrote: From: Patrick Okuni <paok...@yahoo.com> Subject: Re: [WestNileNet] Arua fails to spend 1.7 B shillings To: "A Virtual Network for friends of West Nile" <westnilenet@kym.net> Date: Monday, June 21, 2010, 4:30 AM Ori Over to you for as comment...

The money was meant for service delivery during the 2009/10 Financial year. The Sectors that failed to use the money are works and water departments (1.1bn), Education shs 322 Million and peace recovery and development program (276M). The unspent monies were meant for construction of community roads, drilling of bore holes, construction of schools and maintenance of feeder roads that is according to the secretary finance Arua District Local Government one Sam Wadri Nyakua. This scenario is so annoying. We are breaking our backs to ensure that our region copes up with the rest in terms of development, our local leaders are obdurately failing us. what are your comments ladies and gentlemen. _______________________________________________ WestNileNet mailing list WestNileNet@kym.net http://orion.kym.net/mailman/listinfo/westnilenet WestNileNet is generously hosted by INFOCOM http://www.infocom.co.ug/ All Archives can be found at http://www.mail-archive.com/westnilenet@kym.net/ The above comments and data are owned by whoever posted them (including attachments if any).
