Members of Parliament used the number of roads unrepaired and in a bad condition as an example to highlight what they say is poor and inefficient budget execution.

"Just as an illustration, the road works from Tunubibi to Maliana have just been completed and handed over to the government, yet two months on they have all but been destroyed or are in a bad state of disrepair," MP Mateus de Jesus, (10/01), in parliament.

MP de Jesuscriticised the fact all ministries' reports on 2012 budget execution showed good results yet the implementation of these projects in reality was not good. According to him, year after year the allocated budgets increase phenomenally yet in practice people have not seen any of the benefits.

He attributed this problem to the government's lack of monitoring and control over the construction companies implementing these projects.

"These are indicators which must be used to approve the budget, we must go and see for ourselves the implementation of these projects, whether they really benefit the people or not," said the CNRT MP.

National Development Agency Director Samuel Marcalstated the government will not pay companies whose work is unsatisfactory. "They will be asked to correct and repair any damages, and only then will they be paid," said Marcal.
