The Council of the Municipality of Walvis Bay re-tabled its 2021-2022 budget during an Extraordinary Council Meeting on Monday night.
The tabling of the budget was initially scheduled to be ta-bled in mid-May. Council decided on 11 May to delay tab-ling the budget, as it needed more time to incorporate ideas and inputs made by members of the public during three consul-tative public meetings earlier.
This is the first bud-get by the newly elected Town Council which comprises of a ruling coalition of the Independent Patriots for Change (IPC), the Joint Wal-vis Bay Residents Association, and the Popular Democratic Movement (PDM). The budget has been described in recent days as the “Budget for the People, by the People”, as it incorporated inputs made by members of the public during public consultative meetings.
