“We are the pacesetters, even though we are relatively young as an assembly, the records have been set, the 100 per cent trend will open up a new chapter to continue with the forward match where peace, unity, harmony and social cohesion thrive,” Ms Alhassan noted.

She commended the assembly members for the feat and assured that the constituency would continue to play its role in its quest to be the cleanest municipality in the region.
