Misaje Council Adopts
FCFA 429.691.433 as Budget for 2018 as against FCFA 432.245.000 in 2017,
recording a decrease of FCFA 2.533.557 (representing about 0.6%). Though
Mgbatta Sammy Nforkemba, mayor of Misaje said the minimal decrease is as a
result of the fervent quest to make the budget more realistic, questions have
been raised as to why resources from other development partners like FEICOM,
PNDP and LIFIDEP were not projected in the budget. However, Councilor Mgbata
Sammy tried to clear the clouds by saying that funding from these partners
shall be considered and received as additional budget or special authorizations.
Holding few months after PNDP rated Misaje Council as the worst managed council
in the North West Region, Mayor Mgbata Sammy tried as much as positive to
exonerate Misaje Council as the worst in the performance basket exercise. He
said " the one and only handicap was that neither the Municipal Treasurer
nor the SG was present to have shown the good work that is done in Misaje
council". Harping on the criteria used by PNDP put in place that Misaje
could not obtain a pass, he outlined five points that were unjust such as
Misaje Municipal Treasurer not sending monthly reports, complete absence of
financial statements, no CDO after the former left though one has been
recruited, SG unable to tell PNDP how he runs the council etc etcWhen News Breaks Out, We Break In. (The 2014 Bloggies Finalist)
