“...we are in a budgetary session and when we talk about the budgetary session what is of importance to me is whether the 15% allocated to local councils will be enacted into the state budget because that is very important. If that 15% is not given to our councils, it is going to bring problems to us. We are going to face problems with our electorates if we go back without it done. I don’t know the magic that the ministers of Finance and that of the Economy will play but that is the most important point,” Njalla disclosed.
