These include the dormancy of the Council's Built Together Housing Programme, irregular appointments, and water and electricity issues.
The community reiterated the complaints it lodged with the minister.
Minister Uutoni explained that replacements in any local authority under administration cannot be done overnight, as many would expect.
He denied having given preferential treatment to some community members.
Uutoni also assured them of a resolution without delay once the matter reached his office.
