Charles Hinga, the Principal Secretary of State Department for Housing and Urban Development, announces extension of the Kazi Mtaani Program on Friday, according to a report on KBC Channel.

Sharing a notice on Friday, the Principal Secretary stated that Cohort A would resume work on 3 Feb 2021 and would work for two weeks before the finishing of Cohort B.

The Kazi Mtaani Program that started in July 2020 was to finish by the end of Jan, but the program got stretched due to two-week breaks on the festive season of Christmas. The program reportedly resumed on 4 Jan and was to end around six months on 2 Feb 2021.
