SELEBI-PHIKWE: Gaborone North MP, who is also a member of the portfolio committee on Local Government and Social Welfare, Haskins Nkaigwa said government should consider funding Ward Development Committees (WDC) action plans.

He said the WDC suffer because they run their daily responsibilities from donations. Nkaigwa believes that they can play a major role in the development of our nation. “These committees are vital to our people and we should take them serious. If the government was able to issue constituency development funds then I believe that part of the money can be channelled in funding committee action plan,” he said.

Nkaigwa said they are going to push and make sure that something is done concerning WDC. He noted that the reason why government poverty eradication projects are failing is because people are not consulted before implementation of the projects. He said people should be trained and empowered on these projects so that they can have the knowledge on how to run them for the betterment of their lives and those of other people.
