The exhortation came from Erastus Uutoni, the Minister of Urban and Rural Development when he addressed NALAO\u2019s 20th Annual General Meeting in Tsumeb on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

Uutoni stressed the need to enhance the capacity of members to ensure that demands and concerns are brought to the attention of the government.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou must continue to exercise strategic leadership in the provision of services and serve as a forum for learning and exchanging best practices,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He implored officials and politicians to work together in order to make improvements to the overall organizational performance of local authorities within the context of good governance.<\/p>\n

Uutoni further said that effective political and administrative leadership should be shown as an example of good governance that exhibits institutional stability; effective council and oversight mechanisms; consistent capital project budget expenditures; constant unqualified audit results, and sound financial management.<\/p>\n
