Limbe City Council

The Government Delegate to the Limbe City Council Andrew Motanga Monjimba has cautioned staff of the Council against Anti-work practices especially bribery and corruption which he said is still very much present at the city council. He told staffers of the LCC to watch out, saying that a word to a wise is sufficient.

                The GD was speaking as he received New Year wishes from staff of the city council, on Friday 22 February at the city hall. 

                Motanga advised the staff to align themselves to the council's current focus henceforth. He assured them of that hierarchy will continue to pay attention to their worries but exhorted them to remain focused to the goal of transforming Limbe into a veritable OPEC city.

                Speaking on behalf of the Staff, the Secretary General of LCC, hailed the GD for the regular payment of salaries, which cover housing allowances, health insurance and basic salary. The SG enjoined the entire staff of LCC to rally behind the GD for greater achievements for the city as a whole.

                To demonstrate their appreciation to the GD, the staffs handed a symbolic gift of a gas cooker with six burners to the GD. 

 Andrew Motanga told the staff that New Year wishes events go beyond just celebration because they provide an opportunity to look back at the road covered in the past year and to project for the future.

                Motanga thanked the staff for accompanying him over the years in his exacting duties.

                "We've gone the extra mile to satisfy the demands and needs of the staff, even though some sticky points are still to be resolved. But it will be bad faith if the staff do not appreciate what has been done to better their working conditions," the GD opined.

                "When I look back at what we have been able to achieve in our municipality, I have a feeling of fulfilment and responsibility knowing that there is still a lot to be done to fully transform the town into a great city," said Andrew Motanga, boasting that achievements have been made in the health, education, water and sanitation sectors of the city.

                The GD used the occasion to beckon on the population of Limbe to join him in his efforts to build a modern OPEC City.

                Highpoints of the ceremony included handshakes with the GD, singing and dancing.
