The minister recently gave an induction to the municipalities of Gobabis and Walvis Bay to refresh their understanding of good governance and best practices as a leader . ‘ Some of the councillors have now forgotten their induction and are seen protesting with the public demanding for better service , instead of addressing the matters in their local authorities to serve the peop
le who elect them ,’ he said . He then questioned how they expect to solve the problems faced in their local authorities when they are creating the problem themselves .
