World Bank chairs for Jaffna Municipal Council
With the gazette notification issued announcing the newly elected members to local bodies following the February 10 elections, these councils are making final preparations to hold their inaugural meetings by the end of this month.
However, most of the councils face some practical issues such as accommodating all councillors as the numbers have increased significantly.
For the Colombo Municipal Council (CMC) which consists of 119 councillors, the sittings are scheduled to be held at a BMICH hall until arrangements are made at the Town Hall Secretariat. In addition to this, councils have to spend millions of taxpayers’ money to purchase resources for the meetings of new councils.
The Jaffna Municipal Council (JMC) has used funds allocated by the World Bank under the project of “Strategic City Development” to buy resources for the 44-member council. These included brand new chairs for them to sit on while deliberating, among other issues, on strategic city development.
