The Public and Private Development Centre (PPDC) is set to launch ‘Budeshi Waka’, a documentary on the numerous abandoned government projects across the country.
Budeshi Waka is a product of a series of investigative reporting and monitoring of projects awarded by the government, many of them merely ‘completed’ on paper, while residents in the host communities groan in pain and misery.
The PPDC is a civil society organisation whose major objective is to make public procurement as transparent and corruption-free as possible.
This it does through its website: www.budeshi.org, where it publishes details of all contracts awarded by the various ministries, departments and agencies of government, as many as were made available to it through the Freedom of Information (FOI) Act.
Budeshi Waka documentary will be launched soon but in the meantime, you can watch the trailer below:
