"It may be a difficult task, but not impossible. If we tighten up our belts, we will see results in a couple of years. So let's start working from tomorrow," Tuki told a conference here yesterday.

"Without revenue it is impossible for us to give good and pro-development governance to the people," he said.

He said people, especially in rural areas, were being deprived of quality services and asked for plans to revamp these two sectors.

Concerned about defunct and non-performing schools, he suggested that DCs identify them so that they could be handed over to competent NGOs with assistance from the government to run them.

Tuki also suggested that DCs streamline issue of gun licenses, ban hunting, timber felling and fishing by using explosives and poison.

Another suggestion he made was that setting up of mobile offices from at places where there was no administrative offices so that grievances of the people could be resolved on the spot.
