“*ATTENTION! ATTENTION!!*
Good evening my good people of Jirapa.

Please, for your information, while away from the Municipal, we are hearing so many rumors about the purported auctioning, that the Assembly Members are in support of the current auctioning. This is blatant lies.

As the Presiding Member for Jirapa Municipal Assembly, I want to state with all authority without any fear or contradiction that the assembly has officially moved motions on the auctioning of the assembly vehicles which went into voting, and majority of the Members voted against the auctioning of the Assembly properties.

Hence, the decision of the Assembly is legally enshrined and documented in the minutes that no property of the Jirapa Municipal Assembly should be auctioned nor declared obsolete.

The Assembly is the highest decision making body in the municipality, and let no one undermines the collective decision of the good people of Jirapa.

The assembly is the mouthpiece and voice of the good people of Jirapa. And we own it a duty to rise and protect the property of the municipality.
Inspired of all the rumors, on behalf of my Assembly Members, we are sounding this warning to the MCE and his cohorts behind this whole auctioning thing, that we the assembly members shall go any extra mile, be it physically or hitting the media to resist every attempt of auctioning the legitimate property of the Jirapa Municipal Assembly.

Note:
This is to the promising youth of Jirapa, this is the time to rise and fight to protect what belongs to us.
Please, I am by this authorizing all youth and assembly members to rise, visit and storm the assembly premises tomorrow morning to fight and protect the legitimate properties of the municipal assembly for our future and unborn generation.

It has also come to my notice that, some few individuals against my political career are seriously speculating rumors that the Presiding Member is in bed with the MCE and also in support of the purported auctioning.

Kindly note my position, I value and cherish my hard earned reputation and integrity, and will never soil it neither to think of looting the assembly to the benefit of any individual.

*Please, everyone should let this be in record.*
