{The government has reaffirmed on June deadline for school desk crisis as fixed, calling on all relevant authorities to industriously meet the target line.}<\/p>\n
{Minister in President\u2019s Office (Regional Administration and Local Governments), TAMISEMI, Mr George Simbachawene, reiterated that the directive issued by President John Magufuli and Prime Minister Kassim Majaliwa was unchangeable.}<\/p>\n
\u201cAll district and council executive directors who will by June still face shortage of desks in primary and secondary schools they should count themselves failures,\u201d he said in Morogoro at the weekend.<\/p>\n
Official government figures shows primary and secondary schools in the country are facing a shortage of over 3,000,000 desks with primary schools having a shortage of 2,800,000 while 200,000 desks are needed in secondary schools.<\/p>\n
But speaking in Morogoro at a meeting with district commissioners, council directors and head of departments, the minister recalled the president\u2019s order saying it seeks to unseat pupils from the floor.<\/p>\n
He said there is no debate on the presidential directives. All directors whose pupils and students still sit on the floor will be held responsible for failing to execute their duties.<\/p>\n
\u201cOne way to address the crisis is by approving the use of forest resources to address the problem,\u201d he told Regional and District Commissioners who doubles as Chairpersons of decision making units at district and regional levels.<\/p>\n
The minister immediately cautioned the directors and commissioners to be vigilant of the forest resources permits for the undertakings.<\/p>\n
Morogoro is facing a shortage of 73,972 desks in primary schools and 11,038 desks in secondary schools. Similarly the region is in short of 4,508 classrooms in primary schools and 352 classrooms in secondary schools. \u201cThere is still a big challenge in Morogoro all alone.<\/p>\n
The region is reach in forest resources somewhat more than Coast Region,\u201d he said. The minister warned over likely surge in debts owed by civil servants and bidders offering food service among public schools as a result of corrupt employment and finance officers.<\/p>\n
\u201cNo stone shall remain unturned,\u201d the minister said calling the on Regional Commissioner Mr Kebwe Steven Kebwe to start screening deceitful servants before it\u2019s too late. \u201cAccountants are a mere problem in the region.<\/p>\n
You can be surprised a debt amounting to 25bn\/- if audited it falls to 5bn\/- we will wipe them out,\u201d he said.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
