Kumba mayors urged to join city council’s dev't efforts

The mayors of Kumba I, II and III sub-divisional councils have been admonished to work in synergy with the Kumba city council, KCC in order to foster the development of the city.

The call for a renewed multilateral synergy was made by the government delegate to the Kumba city council, Ngoh Victor Nkelle during the second quarter KCC session that took place at the council’s conference hall, July 24.

Thursday’s session was devoted to the examination and adoption of special budgets for the council and to cross-examine the report of the Kumba and Fiango market inquiry committee.

Speaking during the session, the government delegate expressed satisfaction and noted that the session was very timely since time was accorded for KCC and the sub-divisional councils to concert and come up with the common ideals for the development of the municipality.

Ngoh Nkelle equally begged the grand councillors to put in indefatigable efforts for the collective interest of the municipality. He intimated that with the participatory approach, more will not only be done, but will be done very well.

The senior divisional officer for Meme, Koulbout Aman David, who supervised the session for his part, lauded the initiative put in place by the government delegate and his staff to collect revenue and prayed that the revenue collected be ploughed back into developing the municipality.

The visibly satisfied government delegate later told pressmen the additional budget will contribute to the development of the municipality. He further noted that the development of the municipality was almost stalled because previous budgets were low.

From statistics presented by the market ad hoc committee set up by the Kumba city council session of April 23, 2014, market collection accounts for 17MFCFA.
