To
him, since the struggle began, we have not found the direction to the solution
therefore, we all need to move towards finding a lasting solution to the crisis
by ending hostilities. Stopping does not mean that the battle is lost, but a
strategic halt to give chance to a long lasting solution.
He
also appreciated the council for selecting projects from the Council
Development Plan CDP, thereby ensuring equitable development of the
municipality as per planning.
