Councillors vow to reject 'shallow' action sheet responses

Councillors made their feelings known at the on-going full council meeting here in response to the action sheet that was read to them.They basically said they were dissatisfied by the responses and they said showed that there was no time taken to address the councillors' motions.In the past, Francistown councillors have rejected the action sheet and demanded that satisfactory responses that indicated progress be given.Now, they are complaining that they are not being taken seriously and that responses to their motions are shallow.

Councillor Tabengwa Tabengwa of Ikageleng Ward proposed that at the next full council meeting, they should not accept shallow responses that are given in the action sheet."You can simply tell that there was no effort that has been put in this. People (officers) start running around when they know that the full council is near and they write 'on-going or awaiting response'."Councillors, let us agree that in the next full council we will not accept such responses," he said.
