She emphasised the importance of proper documentation and accountability during the handling of construction materials, urging those responsible to record every item issued to artisans to maintain transparency and track progress effectively.

“The contractor should also be reminded in writing to deliver construction materials on time to enable smooth continuation of the work,” Ms Anthony added, noting that all project agreements should be documented to avoid misunderstandings during implementation.

The construction and renovation work at Mpamaa Primary School form part of a broader government initiative to improve education infrastructure across Dodoma Region through various funding programmes.
