    "content": "Factor number one is the critical role that civic authorities play in this country. We know that there was a time that in this country when basic social services such as education and water were provided by our civic authorities as a matter of their core business. It was given that civic authorities would provide those services. But today, most of our civic authorities have lost the capacity to provide those services. They struggle not only to maintain the basic survival of the authority, but even to pay the allowances for councillors. Therefore, until we release civic authorities from the basics, including payment of allowances for councillors, civic authorities will not have the capacity to return to the critical role they once played in this country; the role of providing basic social services at the local level."
