Lethem residents oppose replacing Ireng NDC with IMC

Several residents took to the picket line on Friday to protest the installation of an IMC to replace the NDC.

Residents of Lethem yesterday strongly opposed the installation of an Interim-Management Committee (IMC) to replace the Ireng/Sawariwau Neighbourhood Democratic Council (NDC) but had mixed views about whether the current body is capable of effectively carrying out its duties.

Officials of the Local Government Ministry have been visiting communities across the country after receiving petitions from residents regarding the functions of NDCs and Friday’s meeting at the NDC Office in Lethem
