Rural Development Minister, Jimson Tanagada challenged by Parliamentary Opposition Group

The Minister for Rural Development, Honorable Jimson Tanagada has been challenged by the Parliamentary Opposition Group to reveal the rental cost of the new MRD office at Ranadi.

The Opposition Group said that the Minister has promised to provide details of the rental costs when questioned in Parliament recently but failed to do so.

The Opposition questioned why the Minister has chosen to withhold vital information that should be made known to taxpayers of this country.

The Parliamentary Opposition Office said that it has also received information from sources within MRD that the allocation for rental costs for the whole year has already been exhausted in the first quarter.

“If this is the case then it means that the rental costs for the new office up at Ranadi is very high compared to the one at SMI,” it said.

Meanwhile, the Opposition Office reiterated its earlier call in questioning the relocation of the office from SMI to Ranadi.

The statement says the relocation and rental deal between MRD and Chengs is not only suspicious but it also defies economic sense.
