“There are instances where the provincial councils do not use up the budgetary allocations and a considerable amount of funds are sent back to the Treasury at the end of the year. This must not happen. All provincial councils must be determined to make us of the annual budgetary allocations for the development programmes,” the President said.
He said officials and politicians must ensure that there would be no shortcomings in providing essential services like education, health, infrastructure and drinking water to the people in the North.
