The District Assembly on Tuesday, August 4, 2026, received a delegation of stakeholders who paid a courtesy call to present their proposal to establish an animal market within the district.
The delegation sought the Assembly’s support, guidance, and collaboration to ensure the successful establishment and operation of the proposed market. They explained that the initiative is intended to create a structured marketplace for livestock trading, promote local commerce, and contribute to the district’s economic growth.
Speaking on behalf of the District Chief Executive (DCE), the Coordinating Director welcomed the delegation and expressed appreciation for the initiative. He emphasized the significant role animal markets play in promoting local economic development, creating employment opportunities, and improving livelihoods for residents.
He further stressed that the success of the proposed market would depend on effective collaboration among all relevant stakeholders to ensure that the facility is peaceful, well-managed, and sustainable.
As part of the engagement, the group proposed the drafting of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to serve as the framework for cooperation among the various stakeholders. The MoU will be reviewed and agreed upon by all parties to define their respective roles and responsibilities in bringing the project to fruition.
The District Assembly reaffirmed its commitment to supporting initiatives that foster economic development, enhance trade, and improve the well-being of communities across the district.
