The mayors of Mozambique's 65 municipalities are worried at the scarcity of the money needed to repair access roads, and the late disbursement of what little money does exist.
Chimoio — The mayors of Mozambique 's 65 municipalities are worried at the scarcity of the money needed to repair access roads, and the late disbursement of what little money does exist.
But these funds are regarded as insignificant, particularly given the delays in disbursing them, which is compromising maintenance work on the access roads. "The municipal citizens want to see results', Ferreira stressed."They want to see what we promised during the election campaign. When there are delays in the money reaching the municipal coffers, the public doesn't understand the procedures for disbursements. They just want results and compliance with the promises that we made'.
"The situation with the roads is complicated', said Shafee Sidat, mayor of Marracuene, in Maputo province. He was annoyed that no high level Road Fund officials were attending the meeting.
