The law requires that all villages in the country should conduct village assembly at least twice in a year. It was supposedly scheduled during March and October. But because of the recent conduct of local elections last May, I decided that assemblies of the villages in my area of jurisdiction be conducted this month of June.
Another assembly that I attended this Saturday was the village near the town proper. The activity started at 3 in the afternoon and was attended in by the residents of the village. I discussed several topics such as the conduct of the clean-up drive every week, having a community garden, and clearing of the road right of way.
It was supposed to be my rest day but because they head of the village sent an invitation, I attended the activity. This is still part of my job and public service.
Enjoy your weekend, friends!

I discussed about the different programs of the government such as clean-up drive, having community garden, road right of way clearing and encourage them to participate in those programs. I also told them that this is the venue so they can raise their concerns or questions about the finances and other programs.

Yes, it was indeed a busy day. Part of my job is to monitor the implementation of the government programs in the villages as well as the municipality where I am currently assigned. I also provide technical assistance and this activity is part of that. Thank you for dropping by.

It's mandatory for the officials of the villages to conduct assembly twice a year. Though most of the times, residents don't want to attend for some reasons.
