The CCM Kigoma Regional Political Committee has urged the Kigoma Regional Government to take action against district councils to ensure the completion of stalled community projects. This call was made during a visit to inspect the construction of Rukoma Health Center in Uvinza District, Kigoma Region. The committee, led by Jamal Tamim, expressed concern over the delayed completion of the project, which was initially directed by Prime Minister Kassim Majaliwa in 2023 to be completed and start providing services.
According to Jamal Tamim, despite the allocation of Sh 546 million, the project has only reached 85% completion, with no indication of starting operations soon. This has raised concerns, especially since other health centers that received similar funding have been completed and are providing services. The committee has been left questioning the cause of the delay in the Rukoma Health Center project.
Christopher Pallangyo, CCM Kigoma Regional Secretary, expressed surprise that the Rukoma Health Center has not started providing even outpatient services, despite the substantial investment. He stated that the party will report the matter to the government authorities, urging them to take necessary actions. The committee's visit aimed to assess the project's progress and understand the reasons behind the delays.
During the visit, Uvinza District Commissioner Dinna Mathaman expressed disappointment over the project's status, assuring the community that efforts will be made to expedite its completion. He had previously promised the community that services would commence on September 1st of this year. The district administration has pledged to work with relevant authorities to ensure the project's completion and the initiation of services.
