Audit all councils, government urged.

Share

The Citizens Forum has called on government to conduct audits in all Councils in the country.

Reacting to Government’s latest move banning Kasama municipal council from allocating plots citing irregularities in the system, executive Secretary Simon Kabanda told QFM in an exclusive interview that government should not to apply the law selectively by only concentrating on Councils controlled by the opposition political parties.

Mr. Kabanda says his organization is not against the ban on any City Council that abrogates its mandate but that the way in which government is handling matters relating to Councils run by the opposition leaves much to be desired.

He says if government’s action on certain Councils in the country is to be viewed as being in good faith, but there is need to consider auditing all councils.

And opposition Patriotic Front (PF) chairperson for local government Given Lubinda says he will issue a statement after studying circumstances leading to the ban of Kasama Municipal Council from allocating plots.
