The Chairman also commended the council's Head of Service, Mr Saturday Isonguyo andu other administrative staff for their efforts and support to the previous administrations and charged them to do more for the new administration.



He assured them of transparent and open door administration while urging the staff to come to him whenever they have challenges at their duty post.


Luke tasked those in charge of electricity supply to ensure regular supply of power in the council for the staff to use and condemned a situation where there is light only when the Chairman comes to the council.

"I will not tolerate a situation where generator is on only when the Chairman is here. What is good for the Chairman is good for all the staff in the council. It is not good for the staff to be crossing the road to go and charge their mobile phones outside the secretariat. I am not that type of Chairman, please," he remarked.
