He added that, the media stations in the Municipality can use their Airways and platforms to help in public announcements, radio discussions and interviews with the various stakeholders particularly the assembly members across the Municipality.
The assembly by-laws according to the director will be re-inforced to deal with anyone that disobey the rules and regulations of the laws particularly the monthly cleaning -up campaign. He assured that, the assembly will make the refuse-dump containers available for the various dumping sites in the electoral areas across the Municipality.

The coordinator uses the opportunity to call on all residents and stakeholders especially politicians to allow the by-laws to work and deal with culprits without interference.
