Dear Editor,
Now that a date has been announced for the holding of Local Government Elections (LGE) the Minister should dissolve the entire Council with immediate effect.
This will eliminate the perception of any unfair and illegal campaigning by incumbent city officials, who will no doubt be using taxpayers’ money to have them re-elected, or to have their friends selected.
In the event that some would rush to say that this is impossible for the Minister to do, let me remind them of what the law says (Chapter 28:01 — 306, section 5) “Where the Minister dissolves a council under this section, he SHALL, when he deems fit, by order appoint – (a) A day for the election of the councilors and prescribe the term of office of the councilors so elected.”
If we are going to replace this outdated and sleeping city council with energetic folks, and visionaries, let’s do it the correct way.
