Minister directs district council to submit financial reports to his office

Dodoma. The minister of state in president’s office (Regional Administration and Local Governments) Mr Selemani Jafo has directed those who acquired loans from commercial banks for implementation of development projects to submit reports on how the funds were utilized.

Mr Jafo issued the directive a day after President John Magufuli barred district and municipal councils from borrowing from commercial banks to fund development projects.

The minister also directed the councils which have borrowed from commercial banks but are yet to use the money to return them to the respective banks.

“I have given them (District Executive Directors) an order to make sure that they are submitting the reports (on how the money were used) to my office or otherwise face consequences,” said Mr Jafo.
