He stressed the importance of collective effort in driving the local government while pledging to prioritise transparency and accountability.

The council chairman said that with the little resources that the local government will be getting, he will make sure that he upgrades the standard of education, health care facilities, to also make sure that the local government will be providing fertilizer to the farmers in good time since most of the people of the local government are farmers.

“Am very happy that the 13 ward councillors are all young, that you will use your strength as youth in order to bring development to the local government.

“We’ll not only be staying in our offices but also going to our constituency to work for your people and to also supervise what you are doing by yourself.

He charged all the councillors and the management of the local government to cooperate with him in order for things to move forward.

The executive chairman of the local government, Lawi Sumi said that by God’s grace, he will work hand in hand with his cabinet and the entire management for the development of the local government.
