Napak district woman MP
Faith Nakut has asked government to revise its method of paying beneficiaries
of PDM in hard to reach areas like Karamoja sub-region.
Nakut in the
company of Napak district chief administrative officer James Bindijo Okumu were
appearing before the public and local government committee chaired by Martin
Ojara Mapenduzi, as they gave the status of the implementation of parish
development model.
She told the
committee people in her district face difficulty in accessing the PDM money
since the banks are too far from them, coupled with insecurity, reasons she
says sometimes delays people to access the money.
Cue//…Nakut on PDM.
According to
the chairperson of the committee, Martin Ojara Mapenduzi, they are meeting some
district officials from Karamoja to establish why there is only 15%
implementation of PDM funds in the sub-region.
The
committee is to submit a final report on the performance of PDM in the country
on the floor of parliament in two weeks.
