Delegates of the Ebo Town Ward Development Committee, headed by councillor, Modou Lamin Badjie paid, on Tuesday, a courtesy call on Yankuba Colley, mayor of Kanifing Municipal Council (KMC). The move culminated from a desire to highlight their action plans and also to put forward a number of problems the Ebo Town Ward is encountering.

In his welcoming remarks, Mayor Yankuba Colley emphasized that his office is always open. He then vowed that the municipality will arrange to visit their ward so as to address some of the constraints within the ward. 

However, Mayor Colley also seized the opportunity to warn the committee that the municipality cannot resolve all the difficulties they face, but will deploy the necessary measures in order to remedy some of them.

In addition, he pointed out that problems cannot be solved by undermining the authority of the Alkalos as they are particularly attached to ward development matters.

For his part, Modou Lamin Badjie, councillor for New Jeshwang/Ebo Town Ward, highlighted some of the initiatives his ward has undertaken with the support of UNICEF.  According to him, the water supply facility, with a value of D50,000, was part of their numerous projects .

Other speakers included Alagie Basiru Jarra, newly appointed chairman, Health and Education, ward level and Bernice Saidy, second vice-chairperson of the committee. They all expressed gratitude to the KMC for its tireless support.
