Even though the government continues to play a critical role in developing Municipal, Metropolitan and District Assemblies MMDAs through the provision of logistics, staffing and office accommodation, the Wa Municipal Chief Executive believed that it was important for assemblies to generate the needed revenue to offset recurrent expenditures and also fund development projects.
However, Issahaku Tahiru Moomin doubted if the assembly was aware of the number of properties that were contained in the municipality.
The Wa Municipal Chief Executive made the call when he delivered an address at a ceremony to dissolve the fourth Wa Municipal Assembly.
He therefore urged the electorate to consider returning hardworking and committed people back to the assembly to help in revenue generation and stop the over reliance on the District Assemblies Common Fund and other central government releases.
“One major challenge is the unplanned and haphazard development currently going on in our municipality. It is so nauseating to see houses being built in water ways”. He pointed out.
The Wa MCE admonished Physical Planning and Works Departments to abide by the rules and regulations of their professions concerning the allocations of plots.
He also entreated them to ensure that plots were developed according to their designated land use to avoid the danger of flooding and the accompanying loss of lives and property.
Issahaku Tahiru called for energies and enthusiasm to be put together to check environmental degradation and ensure safe environmental hygiene.
