Nijar opens town hall to all

NIJAR’S new council announced some changes during its first plenary meeting.
Sessions are to be held at 7pm on the first Thursday of every month and they will be open to everybody, said Mayor Esperanza Perez Felices.
From now on there will be two council members and two technicians on the board of the municipal water company, Emanagua, to guarantee transparency and control over the decisions that are taken, Perez Felices declared. There are new challenges to be faced including services that were previously outsourced, she said.
“Pay has been cut, starting with the mayor, in line with the promises made during the election campaign,” she continued.
