The CAG report shows that local governments in Kigoma, Katavi, and Tabora are facing challenges in managing resources effectively. There are instances of funds being misused, projects not being completed, and a general lack of transparency in how money is spent. This makes it difficult for communities to trust their leaders and see the benefits of development projects. By increasing political participation and improving accountability, we can ensure that resources are used wisely and community needs are met.
