House of Reps Pledges to Engage CSOs in Constituency Projects

The House of Representatives yesterday promised to engage the Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) in the monitoring and execution of constituency projects.

They also assured that it would through its oversight functions ensure that projects and funding were done in compliance to budget plans to avoid double appropriation for the same projects.

According to the Chairman of the House Committee on Civil Society Organisations and Development Partners, Comrade Peter Akpatason,  the National Assembly hoped to work with the Budget and National Planning Ministry and its agencies to oversight the appropriation and implementation strategies and outcome of all aids and grants.

The lawmaker who told the CSOs that he was on loan to politics promised to live forever as a Comrade.
