World bank funded project for civil servant further training is stuck due to the confusion in securing of the land for the five year project.

This has angered Members of parliament on public service and local government committee who today ordered the ministry of public service to secure the land quickly from the Uganda land commission to kick start the establishment of the civil service college.

The committee members chaired by the woman mp for kalungu district Florence kintu learnt that the Uganda land commission had not allocated the land for the set up of this civil servant training college which is funded by the World Bank to the tune of 4.5 million dollars.

The committee meeting today noted  that the project loan fund was released in 2008  to establish the civil service college but the money is still in bank of Uganda and its remaining with only two and half years to expire because the project  fund is for five years.

The MPs even discovered that the proposed land to the project in Jinja had been allocated to other people and the government has to first compensate these people so that the land is secured for the project.

Kintu told the ministry of public services officials who were led by the minister of public service Henry Muganwa Kajura to bring to the committee the land offer letter to  parliament within two weeks  to satisfy the mps that the project is kicking off to benefit the civil servants.
