Do not be timid: Decentralise CDC

At long last someone powerful has seen sense in what everybody has been saying all theses years :The Central District Council (CDC) is unwieldy.

A district council that covers 17 constituencies and houses 174 councillors at the Serowe Chambers is the very definition of unwieldy.

No one expects the 174 councillors to meaningfully contribute to debates in the council chambers when there is limited time and all of them clamouring to be heard within the limited time. The result is that many councillors, as it has been evident over the years, are deprived of the chance to have a say and hence articulate the development needs of the people they  represent. In the end it is the communities that these councillors represent that find themselves at the rough end of the stick.This is one of the few district councils in country that bring at every sitting a councillor in from Mookane in South Central and another one from Maitengwe to the North. This is at a great cost to the tax payer considering that majority of these councillors never even get an opportunity to discuss development issues of the council on the floor of the council after travelling long distances from their areas.

Each of the 10 beautiful young women had supporters...
