The event forms part of the Assembly’s broader initiative to enhance local revenue mobilization through education and stakeholder collaboration.

The forum was led by the Municipal Chief Executive (MCE) and supported by key municipal officials. During the session, residents were educated on the significance of timely payment of property rates and how these revenues contribute to the development and maintenance of essential municipal services. The officials emphasized that consistent property rate compliance is vital for sustaining infrastructure and community projects.
