Minister of Urban and Rural Development James Sankwasa has issued an ultimatum to councillors of the Katima Mulilo Town Council to provide an explanation for alleged governance and financial mismanagement by Friday or face suspension or dismissal.

The Minister of Urban and Rural Development, Erastus Uutoni, is disappointed with some councillors whom he said did not learn anything during the induction.

This, Uutoni said, results in the councillors making catastrophic and uniform decisions contrary to what they were supposed to have learnt.
