Within the provision of the Law on Decentralization relating citizens participation

The delegation came to express their worry on the works that have been suspended on the committee hall being constructed in Angong village by ÀNDEK Council. Mayor Ubangoh Helly took time to explain to the people that the work has not been abandoned; that the work was slowed down because of security challenges- amba fighters have kidnapped workers from the project site three times! The Mayor called the contractor, on phone, on the spot, who has pledged to complete the job in the days ahead, after the villagers pledged to step in the protect the job and to participate in the realization. The Mayor appreciated the people of Angong for this wonderful approach of coming to the source of the contract, the council,for explanations. The mayor calls on other communities and individuals to emulate this example by the people of Angong than going to make unnecessary noise on the social media or writing letters to the Mayor at a distance.
The mayor explained that this role, to intervene at the council, shall eventually be played by the Neighbourhood of Village Committees that shall be put in place in all the communities as from the 20th March 2024.
