According to Mayor Varpilah, major cities play a significant role in the economic growth and development of the country, and therefore it is important for them to receive proper funding from the government.
He pointed out that the lack of a specific budget for major cities has hindered their progress and led to challenges in providing basic services such as adequate housing, sanitation, and transportation.
Mayor Varpilah urged the government to prioritize the development of major cities and allocate a budget that will allow them to address these pressing issues and improve the quality of life for their citizens.
Meanwhile, he highlighted the importance of collaboration between the national government and local authorities in order to effectively address the needs of major cities.
The plea from Mayor Varpilah comes as the national government prepares to begin the process of planning the national budget for the upcoming fiscal year.
The National Mayor Council of Liberia is a body that represents the mayors of major cities across the country and advocates for their interests at the national level.
Mayor Varpilah’s appeal is seen as a crucial step in ensuring the development of major cities in Liberia and improving the lives of its citizens.
