Se­nior Re­porter/Pro­duc­er

Tu­na­puna Pi­ar­co Re­gion­al Cor­po­ra­tion chair­man Josi­ah Austin says he is hop­ing that the Gov­ern­ment will see the im­por­tance of lo­cal gov­ern­ment re­form and that it will al­so be able to pro­vide the fi­nances nec­es­sary to strength­en lo­cal gov­er­nance.

This was once a promise of the for­mer ad­min­is­tra­tion led by Dr Kei­th Row­ley, as lo­cal gov­ern­ment re­form was a key cam­paign fo­cus for the Peo­ple’s Na­tion­al Move­ment (PNM) in the 2023 lo­cal gov­ern­ment elec­tion.
