I am extremely pleased to welcome you all once more on this occasion. Especially the Senior Divisional Officer, Mezam for all his collaboration and support to the proper functioning of this Council.

The year 2014 Administrative and Management Accounts which we are about to examine and adopt witnessed an increase from 256,571,077 (two hundred and fifty six million five hundred and seventy one thousand one hundred and seventy seven)francs CFA collected out of 483,891,524(four hundred and eighty three million eight hundred and ninety one thousand five hundred and two twenty four) francs CFA budgeted in 2013 to 402,881,208 (four hundred and two million eight hundred and eighty one thousand two hundred and eight) francs CFA collected from 462,462,294 (four hundred and sixty two million four hundred and sixty two thousand two hundred and ninety four) francs CFA budgeted in 2014 financial year. Given a total percentage collected in 2014 financial at 87%.

From this amount, 397,352,135 (three hundred and ninety seven million three hundred and fifty two thousand one hundred and thirty five) francs has being spent showing a credit balance to be carried forward to 2015 budget at the sum of 5,529,073 (five million five hundred and twenty thousand and seventy three) francs CFA, this is due to hard work by the staff. Building Permit Commission and Council executive who put hands on deck to achieve this. This would have been more, if councilors could double their efforts in enforcing Revenue collection in their various Council constituencies e.g. okada, market tolls, vegetables, building permits etc. So I am calling on all the Councilors to take this challenge and make it possible that they accompany the Council Executive and staff to raise funds for the development of this our dear Municipality.
