The Urban and Rural Development Ministry yanked the swearing-in ceremony for regional council and local authority winners that was supposed to happen next week, and executive director Wilhelmine Shivute sent out a memo saying they'll announce the makeup date later. The ministry didn't explain why they pulled the plug, but the announcement comes while magistrates are on strike and vote tallies are still being released for dozens of constituencies and local authorities.
Minister James Sankwasa might have to appoint temporary administrators across the country if the new councillors don't get sworn in soon, since election results are still trickling out with only 81 regional constituencies and 45 local authorities tallied.
