Kerewan Area Council has exciting plans to improve waste management and revenue collection. They're buying two garbage trucks for Barra and Farafenni, which will be a game-changer for dealing with daily waste in urban areas. This is the first time the council has ever provided this kind of service.
In addition, they're giving revenue collectors five motorcycles to help them do their jobs better. This will make it easier for them to visit communities and institutions, collect payments on time, and deposit the money quickly.
CEO Sainabou Martin Sonko is thrilled with how well everyone is working together to advance the council's development plans. She praised the Chairman, staff, and general counsel for their support.
The council has also been busy with other projects. They've already spent over D300,000 on street lights in Kerewan and want to do the same in Farafenni and Ngain Sanjal. Eventually, they hope to bring this improvement to all major towns in the region.
Ms. Sonko emphasized the importance of communities paying their rates and taxes on time. When they do, the council can invest 60% of that money back into local development projects. It's a win-win situation.
Education is another priority for the Kerewan Area Council. They recently covered tuition fees for two students, one at Gambia College and another at the University of The Gambia.
Youth engagement is also high on their agenda. The council gave the Regional Youth Committee D650,000 to help them participate in the last NAYCONF. Ms. Sonko was really impressed with how well the young people performed.
There's a lot of positive momentum at Kerewan Area Council right now. With better waste management, revenue collection, and community support, they're poised to make some big improvements in the region.
