"content": "over to officers. Let me tell you that those officers have no mandate, and they are left with tendering, awarding contracts and other things. It is very important that tendering and awarding of contracts should go back to councillors. Officers, and that is within the Local Authorities Act, Cap.265, are there to advise councillors. For any resolution councillors make, officers will recommend it or dissent it. When they dissent, that resolution becomes null and void. There is a system but for the Minister for Local Government just to wake up and say: \"I have abolished the offices and the tender should not be awarded by councillors\" is very unfair!"
