Members of the Gambia Association of Local Government Councils (GALGA) on Tuesday met at the office of the governor of Western Region to discuss issues of significance to the association.

The meeting revolved around car park fees, report on GALGA’s activities and achievement from January to June 2007, launching of Rural Water Supply Sector Programme (RWSSP) in all local government areas, among many others.

In his remarks at the opening of the forum, the Governor of Western Region, Abdou F.M. Badjie, thanked his colleagues for choosing his region as the venue for the meeting, adding that the forum was a clear indication that decentralization has come to stay.

He noted that the meeting was also an indication of the interest members have in the promotion of local governance and the development of local governments.

Governor Badjie pointed out that local government authorities have a responsibility to come up with initiatives for the interest of the people and, therefore, urged his equivalents to take the meeting seriously.
