ASSEMBLY MEMBERS, HEADS OF DEPARTMENT BENEFIT FROM CAPACITY BUILDING TRAINING

The Human Resource Department of Okaikwei North Municipal Assembly has organized two-day training for Assembly Members and Heads of Department in the municipality. The training seeks to explain to Assembly Members and staff the roles, reports, duties and responsibilities of zonal council and unit committee members to the municipality. You must know the whole Local Government structure so that, you Assembly Members will play a positive role together with the municipal to develop the country, according to  the facilitator Mr. J.M Dasamah, Partner Excel Link. Being Assembly Member is an honor, this means the people have confidence in you, therefore when you assist in revenue collection for the municipality the people will listen to you and pay. Make sure you deal with issues which are within your limit, Mr. Dasamah explained. He said, As an Assembly Member, we expect you to work with traditional authorities, artisans, institutions and zonal councils, they are very important for development. He highlighted that, quality reports writing is very crucial to all members, Assembly Members must do proper report so that the report will lead to good policies for the Assembly. He said good report is a problem solving tool for the Assembly. The facilitator added that, well written reports should have targets, the report should get to the Municipal Chief Executive or the Municipal Coordinating Director so that proper action will be taken on the reports. Remember that your main goal is to support the services of the municipal, call meetings of all the local members, have discussions with them, then make recommendations to the Assembly. I also urge all of you to have agenda for your meetings, as leaders you must have managerial skills.
