DEPUTY MINISTER MABULA SUSPENDS LANDS OFFICER
Ukerewe/Magu. Deputy minister for Land, Housing and Human Settlement Development, Ms Angelina Mabula on Friday suspended the land officer for ukerewe District, Elia Mtakama, over irresponsibility.
She ordered the district administration to find the suspended officer replacement immediately.
Among other things, the Deputy Minister was irked by the failure by Mr Mtakana to effectively manage the online land rent payment system.
“Reports indicate that there is no single person who has been registered in the land rent payment system,” she said
But, Mr Mtakama explained that the area has been experiencing poor internet connection that made data entry in the system fail.
“Our internet access through the modem is poor hence we have failed to effectively collect land rent through the online system,” he said.
On the other hand, Mr Mtakama said he was new to the job so he needed a lot of time to ensure payment of land rent is done online.
“I was appointed as the land officer here on March and that the former land officer should be held accountable for irresponsibility,” he said when defending himself.
The acting land commissioner for Lake Victoria Regions, Mr Joseph Shewiyo, said it was unacceptable for any municipality for failing to collect land rent through online platform.
Ms Mabula also blamed land officers in Magu district for failing to indicate the number of villages during its land registration process.
