He concluded by extending appreciation to the government for always supporting the council realise projects despite the fact that the council is unable to efficiently raise revenue. The population was not left out for their undoubted support to the council in the realization of projects, and called on all to respect their civic duties in paying taxes for the council to be able to realize more projects.
