Africa-Press – Sierra-Leone. <\/strong><\/span>On August 21, 2024, the Paramount Chief of Gbense Chiefdom, Komba Sangor Korgbende Kaimachainde IV, made a public statement from his residence, addressing recent concerns about the intensified local tax collection efforts in Koidu City.<\/p>\n

The Chief sought to clarify the reasons behind the increased presence of checkpoints aimed at enforcing tax payments, which has sparked discussion among residents.<\/p>\n

In his address, the Paramount Chief praised the residents of Gbense Chiefdom for their proactive participation in the tax-buying initiative.<\/p>\n

He acknowledged the community\u2019s commitment to fulfilling their tax obligations, emphasizing that this revenue is essential for the Chiefdom\u2019s administration. The funds generated through local taxes are crucial for supporting local councils and contributing to broader federal development projects.<\/p>\n

The Chief also touched on the ongoing partnership with a mining company that is preparing to start operations in the Chiefdom. While acknowledging that unresolved issues have caused delays, he expressed optimism that these challenges would soon be overcome.<\/p>\n

The commencement of the mining operations is expected to provide a significant boost to the Chiefdom\u2019s revenue, further enhancing its development prospects.In his concluding remarks, the Paramount Chief urged those residents who have not yet purchased their tax to do so without delay.<\/p>\n

He reassured the community that the increased presence of Sierra Leone police at the checkpoints is part of a coordinated effort to reinforce the importance of tax compliance.<\/p>\n

This initiative is aimed at securing the necessary funds to support the Chiefdom\u2019s development and administrative needs.<\/p>\n

The reinforcement of local tax collection is viewed as a critical step in ensuring that Gbense Chiefdom has the resources needed to thrive, with the Paramount Chief stressing the importance of community support in this endeavor.<\/p>\n
