Did you know that in Mtwara Region, Tsh. 395 million was spent on rehabilitation of the RC's house in 2008/09, another Tsh. 300 million was spent on this same rehabilitation in 2009/10, Tsh. 232.9 million was again approved by Parliament in the 2010/11 budget for this rehabilitation, and then Mtwara Region again asked Parliament for Tsh. 468.45 million for rehabilitating the same RC's house in the 2011/12 budget (URT, 2010i, 2011e). That's almost Tsh. 1.4 billion spent on rehabilitating the Mtwara RC's house just over the last four years! Don't you wonder what kind of house this is?
Since 2008, regions have budgeted a total of Tsh. 6 billion in local revenue for the development of primary education while allocating Tsh. 15 billion in taxpayers' money to the construction or rehabilitation of RC's and DC's homes.
With budget allocations such as these, can the government say it is working to improve the quality of education in Tanzania?
