Signing the bye-Laws in his office on Monday, in the presence of the Leader of the Legislative Assembly, Hon.

He emphasized that the new laws are designed to enhance administration, maintain social order, preserve cultural identity, and stimulate economic growth.
“These bylaws are tailored to address pressing challenges in our communities, ranging from market regulation and consumer protection to revenue generation and cultural preservation. I applaud the legislative arm for their foresight and commitment,” the chairman stated.
He explained that the laws underwent thorough legislative scrutiny before being enacted, aligning with his administration’s goal of making governance more responsive and effective for residents.
