GOVERNANCE

Governance, Corruption and Public Accountability

The overall performance under this dimension is 89.5%. Activities under this dimension are geared towards building strong institutions, democracy and decentralization and popular participation in ensuring accountability. The Assembly envisaged a strong relationship between office bearers and

beneficiaries in the development agenda.

The Assembly was not able to organise Town Hall meetings because of the COVID 19 pandemic. Several rounds of stakeholder’s engagements with communities were also held to brief communities about government policies and programmes. This afforded the Assembly to also get feedback from the communities.

The Assembly implemented the Anti-Corruption Action Plan which sought to educate stakeholders on anti -corruption activities and how to combat it.

The operationalization of the Zonal Councils and the Unit Committees helps to deepen the decentralization process. However, these institutions were not made functional during the period under review.

Stealing in the municipality reduced drastically from 95 cases in 2019 to 14 in 2020. The number of road accidents however, increased from 15 to 21 in 2020.

Difficulties encountered in the implementation of the MTDP

The implementation of the MTDP was faced with a lot of challenges. Below are some of the key challenges:

Firstly, Inadequate transportation and logistics for monitoring made it difficult for the MPCU to collect data for monitoring and Evaluation.

Secondly, the non-functionality of the sub district structures makes implementation of the Plan at the local or lowest level very difficult. The Assembly could not operationalize the Zonal Councils and the Unit Committees and this development affected community participation in the decisionmaking process.

In addition, the advent of Covid-19 and its attendant restrictions reduced participation in the implementation of projects by stakeholders.

Lastly but not the least, Poor sanitation continue one of the major challenges facing the urban communities.
