Local Government Minister Khadjiah Ameen says former Minister Rohan Sinanan must accept full responsibility for the state in which the URP programme was left.
She commented after Mr. Sinanan said that concerted steps were made over the 2016 to 2024 period to reduce gang culture and interference in the Programme.
Ms. Ameen though, claims that years of political interference, weak oversight, and mismanagement were allowed to flourish under his leadership.
She also accused the former Minister of trying to present himself as a reformer, insisting that his record tells a very different story.
Local government bodies have consistently raised serious concerns about political bias within the URP.
