Someone laments that relief assistance isn’t reaching victims and suspects that local leaders are playing foul

I think on this issue, President Jakaya Kikwete and Works minister John magufuli deserve congratulations for the work well done.

Makerege Baraka

Not so much, but they have at least done something good.

Luitfrid Singumlaji

I only see a little effort, all I can see is inefficiency of the disaster management team.

Mohamed Mwanamaz

Here at Mgole, the relief assistance does not reach the affected people; we are suspecting that much of it ends up in the households of local leaders and their families.

Mack Kusare

I remember that the government promised to build houses for victims of the previous floods at Kilosa. I wonder if the promise has been kept. I am wondering, by extension, whether the victims of the latest floods, who have been rendered homeless, will be assisted by having houses built for them.
