TBA yatakiwa kulipa madeni ya wananchi katika ujenzi shule ya wavulana Ihungo

Waziri wa Elimu, Sayansi na Teknolojia Profesa Joyce Ndalichako amewataka wakala wa majengo nchini TBA kulipa madeni wanayodaiwa na Wananchi mbalimbali kufuatia ujenzi unaoendelea wa Shule ya Sekondari wavulana Ihungo iliyopo Wilayani bukoba mkoani kagera.

Waziri Ndalichako amesema kuwa tayari wizara imekwisha ilipa TBA  zaidi ya bilioni Tisa na garama ya ujenzi kwa mradi wote ni shilingi  bilioni 10 nukta 48.

" Mnyonge mnyongeni haki yake mpeni,  nipende kuwapongeza Wakala wa Majengo TBA kwa kazi nzuri ambayo wameifanya.

"Lakini nasikikitika sana kupokea malalamiko kutoka ofisi ya Mkuu wa mkoa inayoeleza kuwa bado kuna Wananchi wanaidai TBA kutokana na kutoa vifaa mbalimbali vya ujenzi kama vile mbao, matofali, na vibarua ambao wameshiriki katika ujenzi huo wa shule ya wavulana Ihungo na kuwa mpaka sasa hawajalipwa, hii haipendezi ni vyema TBA kuhakikisha inalipa madeni hayo,"alisema Waziri Ndalichako.

Waziri Ndalichako amesema haoni sababu kwa nini wananchi hawajalipwa wakati tayari Serikali imekwisha ilipa TBA, ni vyema wakalipwa ili kusaidia kuepusha migogiro isiyo ya lazima baina ya Serikali na wananchi.

Kwa upande wake Meneja wa TBA mkoa wa  Kagera Salum Chanzi amekiri kuwepo kwa sababu mbalimbali zilipelekea mradi kutokamilika kwa wakati na hivyo kuomba wapewe muda zaidi mpaka mwezi machi mwaka huu ili waweze kukamilisha.

"Mheshimiwa Waziri mradi huu haijakamilika kwa wakati uliokuwa umepangwa kutokana na changamoto ya kuagiza vifaa kutoka nje ya mji wa bukoba, na hii inatokana na bei wakati mwingine kuwa kubwa hapa bukoka  lakini nje ya hapa tunavipata kwa bro nafuu," alisema Chanzi.

Chanzi amemhakikishia Waziri Ndalichako kuwa tayari madeni yote wanayodaiwa na wananchi katika ujenzi huo wa Ihungo Sekondari yamewasilishwa kwenye Taasisi yake yanafanyiwa kazi na wahusika wote  watalipwa.

Kauli hiyo imetolewa na Waziri wa Elimu, Sayansi na Teknolojia Profesa Joyce Ndalichako akiwa Wilayani Muleba mkoani Kagera na kusema kuwa kumekuwa na tabia kwa baadhi ya  Maafisa Elimu kupeleka wanafunzi wengi kwenye shule kuliko uwezo wa shule.

Katibu Mkuu Akwilapo asisitiza matumizi ya force akaunti kwa FDCs

Katibu Mkuu wa Wizara ya Elimu Sayansi na Teknolojia Dk. Leonard Akwilapo leo amefungua mafunzo yanayoelekeza matumizi ya Force Akaunti kwa Wakuu wa Vyuo vya  Maendeleo ya Jamii- FDCs mkoani Morogoro na kusisitiza kuwa utaratibu huo umekuwa na thamani ya matumizi ya fedha, (value for money).

Akizungumza na Wakuu wa Vyuo, Wakufunzi, Maafisa Ugavi na Wahasibu kutoka Vyuo hivyo Katibu Mkuu Akwilapo amesema lengo ni kuwajengea uelewa wa namna ya kusimamia ukarabati ili kuhakikisha Vyuo na Wizara kwa pamoja vinapata thamani ya matumizi ya fedha.

Dk. Akwilapo ameeleza kuwa Force Akaunti  ni utaratibu wa manunuzi ya huduma unaotambulika Serikalini na umekuwa ukitumia sehemu kubwa ya bajeti yake katika ununuzi wa vifaa mbalimbali inayotumika katika ujenzi.

Dk. Akwilapo amesema  lengo la kutumia utaratibu huo ni kupunguza gharama za ujenzi na ukarabati pamoja na kufanya utekelezaji wa mradi kukamilika kwa wakati, kukabiliana na  dharura zinazohitaji kuchukuliwa hatua za haraka pamoja na kuiwezesha taasisi husika kufanya kazi ya ujenzi na ukarabati kwenye taasisi yake pale ambapo ujenzi ni shughuli za kila siku katika Taasisi hiyo.

Ameongeza kuwa Wizara ilitumia wataalam wake katika ujenzi na ukarabati ambapo fedha iliyotumika kwa ajili ya kazi zilionekana kuwa kidogo.

 "Kwa majaribio force Akaunti ilitumika katika halmashauri 129 kujenga madarasa, mabweni, mabwalo, maabaara, Ofisi za walimu, nyumba za walimu  na umeonesha mafanikio makubwa  mahali ambapo kwa kutumia mkandarasi wastani wa shilingi bilioni 2 hadi 3 zingetumika ila kwa utaratibu wa Force Account Wizara imeweza kutumia shilingi milioni 800 hadi bilioni 1 tu".alisema Dk.Akwilapo.

Kwa upande wake mratibu wa mradi wa ESPJ Dk. Jonathan Mbwambo amewataka Washiriki wa mafunzo hayo kuzingatia mafunzo na pia kutumia fedha watakazopewa za ujenzi na ukarabati kama zilivyokusudiwa.

Kati ya vyuo 55 vya FDCs vyuo 20 vitakarabatiwa na kujengwa katika awamu hii ya kwanza ambapo upembuzi yakinifu unatarajiwa kuanza mapema wiki ijayo.

Mafunzo hayo yameratibiwa na mradi wa kukuza stadi za kazi na ajira, ESPJ.
