Local Government Minister Balaam Barugahara has pledged to investigate the construction of a two-classroom block at Gifumba Primary School in Murindi Model Village, Rubanda District, following claims that parents funded most of the work while the district took credit for the project.
Residents told the minister that parents contributed 70 iron sheets towards the construction, while the district provided 15. They also said the district was responsible for roofing, plastering and installing doors.
Barugahara said he would establish how much money the district allocated to the project and whether the funds were properly used.
The proposed investigation comes amid concerns about transparency, accountability and value for money in government-funded projects, particularly where communities contribute resources towards public infrastructure.
