Government traded Agenda 111 Hospital for 24-Hour Market - MP laments

Dr Mohammed Amin Adam, Member of Parliament(MP) for Karaga Constituency, has criticised the government for abandoning the Agenda 111 hospital project in the Karaga constituency in favour of a 24-hour economy market.

He questioned why the government would prioritise a market over a hospital that would save lives.

“Traders can sit in front of their houses and sell easily, but building a hospital with equipment and doctors to save lives is not easy,” he said.

Dr Adam said he had lobbied strongly for Karaga to benefit from the Agenda 111 project, but the government chose to abandon it.

“When the government distributed the Agenda 111 hospital projects, Karaga wasn’t included, but I lobbied for Karaga to benefit from the project. Look at it now, it’s halted,” he noted.

He lamented that about half of the road projects in the constituency have stalled due to non-payment of contractors.

“They have refused to pay the contractor working on the Karaga roads, and because of that the project has halted. It was my wish that by this time Karaga roads would be completed,” he said.
