22The Knesset Finance Committee chaired by MK Moshe Gafne met on Tuesday, 2 Shevat, discussing the situation in Sderot and other Gaza areas communities that have been hit hard from Hamas rockets over recent years. Gafne lamented the fact the government has allocated a great deal of money since 2014, and the funds have been given to various ministries and this is where it ends as the work is not being carried out.
Gafne compared the government’s performance with a “banana republic”, explaining the government makes a decision, one that is supported by all the ministers yet the lay professionals in the ministries do not seem to have implemented the plan despite the fact the money has been allocated. One example is roadwork that was to have been completed but in reality, it is yet to begin. Gafne cited Route 232 was to have been worked on yet nothing has moved other than the money was handed over.
Gafne announced a follow-up meeting will take place and he plans to invite the Minister of Transportation and the director-general of the ministry in the hope of receiving an explanation.

Implementation is the focal point of every decision & the hardest. Show them R. Gafne how to do it, how about a visit to the area as a starter.
