MBABANE– Tinkhundla Service Centres work will be made will be more efficient!
This is according to Mayiwane Constituency Indvuna Yenkhundla Hhohho Dlamini, who applauded Government for buying five vehicles for different Tinkhundla Service Centres. Dlamini took his compliments to Letishisako, an Eswatini Broadcasting and Information (EBIS) live morning show.
Yesterday, we published that six Tinkhundla Service Centres will have its transport woes sorted following the procurement of two Quantum Kombis and three Multi-purpose vans by the government.
The vehicles, which have seen the government spend E3 million, were presented yesterday by the Ministry of Tinkhundla Administration and Development.
Handing over the vehicles was the Minister of Tinkhundla Administration and Development, David ‘Cruiser’ Ngcamphalala.
He announced that the vehicles were procured for Lavumisa, Gege, Hluti, Mayiwane, Siphofaneni and Sithobelweni Tinkhundla Service Centres.
- “What the Government did is commendable. It’s proof that it is a Government that is willing to make the life of emaSwati easy- by providing services promptly.
“We trust that these vehicles will not be abused- but be used for what they are meant for,” said Dlamini on the radio.
According to a statement sent out by the Government of Eswatini, the vehicles have been financed by Government.
Tinkhundla Service Centres serve as decentralised service delivery centres where critical services such as the registration of births, deaths and marriages, revenue services, courts, libraries and others are availed to the Nation.
The Minister said these centres were nothing but the ministry’s unrelenting efforts to take Government services to the doorstep of the people all over the country.
As we dispatch these vehicles to these centres, the ministry is responding to a call to operationalise these centres and we are proud to announce that Siphofaneni is already up and running.
“As we hand over these Government assets to the various centres, I would like to implore the officers in charge to take good care of these vehicles. They have a massive responsibility of ensuring that the ministry’s desired goal of service delivery is met without compromise.” Among the vehicles are the two quantum kombis that will service the Gege and Lavumisa centres, while the three seven-seater vehicles will go to Siphofaneni/Sithobelweni centres.
