The
Civil Society for Poverty Reduction (CSPR) says the country lacks legal
frameworks to hold government officials accountable for failing to execute
government projects which are given huge chunks of budgetary allocations.
CSPR
Resource governance coordinator Tommy Singongi Has told the Alf News Blog in an
interview that there is need to enhance the county's legal frame work
especially on laws that enforce punitive measures on government officials who
misappropriate founds aimed at certain sectors of the country's economy.
He
says this is because of instances where some ministers have in the recent past
failed to execute projects that have been given budgetary allocations, without
facing any punitive measures.
He
says the enhancement of the legal framework that punishes such government
officials should be coupled with policy and
law reforms as well as political will.
And
Mr. Singongi has said that there is need for a resource allocation framework to
all ministries, that pushes the country's expenditure towards the seventh National development planning.
He
says the structured allocation framework will also ensure that resources are
allocated to the most essential areas of the economy.
