A team of 35 civil society organizations has asked the government to follow guidelines to improve service delivery at the local government level.
The group includes the Aphasis Carplan, the Alliance for Rural Democracy, the Ahmed Katrada Foundation and Blackshot.
The companies said the crisis facing local municipalities was serious and that the Kovid-19 epidemic had accelerated it.
A lot of concerns came from the Auditor General’s report released by AG Titigoing AG Kimi McVeigh in July this year.
The report states that the wasted and wasted cost is 32 billion riyals.
In three years the government has spent 27 4.27 billion, wasted and wasted. Overall, 91% of municipalities do not comply with this law. The result is the same as the previous year, slightly higher than 85% in 2016/17, ”MacWet released the latest figures.
Civil society said many of the problems facing local governments are crucial to the well-being of citizens. They want NGOs to work more broadly in the community to address some of the problems facing municipalities.
“As signatories, we say we’re here and working in this space and thinking about the game – changing issues needed for rehabilitation. Director Nondando Engamlana said.
Strengthening oversight through municipal public account committees, audit and risk committees are some important areas.
The second area improves accessibility and transparency to information.
We urge municipalities to allow more access to information to monitor activities. Most municipalities do not have easily accessible information websites. You have to go from column to post to get information, ”said Luanda Shilangu from Public Service Accountability Monitor.
Another important area ensures that municipalities work with qualified people rather than through cadre deployment and that companies believe that municipalities of qualified people are hungry.
NGOs have called on the Cooperative Administration and Traditional Affairs Department (COGTA), the President, Parliament and Salga to change the management of local government so that the work done by municipalities can be improved.
