Advisor for CAWD and Taxes, Kudecho Khamo on Monday hailed Nagaland Government’s decision to repeal Nagaland Municipal Act 2001 during the consultative meeting of the Nationalist Democratic Progressive Party (NDPP), 18th Chozuba Assembly Constituency at Hotel Japfü, Kohima.

In his address, Khamo sought for unity and understanding among the leaders to work for the party and the constituency as the electorates have given the mandate to bring about change and development for the people.

He informed the house that the Nagaland Municipal Act (NMA) 2001 was repealed by the Nagaland Legislative Assembly (NLA) as it contravened the Article 371 (A) which the civil societies opposed, and he opined that it is one of the greatest decisions taken by the government in the recent times. He also that the government is working to interpret the modalities and applications of the Article 371 (A).

The advisor appealed to the party workers to work to the best they can offer for the society for the future generation, living an honest life while keeping the good virtues and traditions of the ancestors.

Stressing on the need for youth empowerment, he pointed out the need for the youth to venture into entrepreneurship adding that the government job is already saturated, and one needs to fight through competitions alone.

He pointed out the need to boost the rural economy, pointing out that the people have fertile soil to venture into agriculture and horticulture to enhance the income and livelihood of the farmers and entrepreneurs.
