A Civil society organization charged with monitoring the budget CSBAG is calling for the stay in the rollout of the parish development model.
The call has been made by the executive director of the organization Julius Mukunda while appearing before the parliamentary committee on the budget to submit their position on the National budget framework paper for the financial year 2022/2023.
Mukunda informed the MPs on the committee that even though the parish the development model is a very good idea, as a country, we are not yet ready to implement this project.
He says that there are many things that are still missing like training of parish chiefs and says that if this money is sent to parishes, the country might end up losing it.
Mukunda is instead calling for piloting of the program in a few districts in the first year as the government organizes itself to implement the program.
Mukunda’s advice was in response to a question asked by the vice-chairperson of the committee who is also the Elgon County mp Wamakuyu Ignatius Mudimi who had asked him to give MPs his thoughts on the rollout of the parish development model.
