The Minister of Rural Development and Local Government, Khadijah Ameen, has dismissed as misleading a headline by a local media house which claimed her project plans had stalled due to a lack of property tax funds.
She called the Guardian Media headline inaccurate and sensational, stressing that projects have not stalled.
Minister Ameen said her Ministry is working with regional corporations to manage the current budget, and a recent meeting with corporations and ministry officials focused on ensuring funding requests were properly submitted and allocations stayed on track.
