Government disagrees with impromptu motion of C&WDC
***************************************************

     The Government attaches great importance to the views of the District Councils. Heads of Departments attend District Council meetings in person to listen to the views of the Councils. The Commissioner of Police (CP) attended the meeting of the Central and Western District Council (C&WDC) today (January 16), listening to and answering questions raised by members of the Council.
 
     However, the Government disagrees with the impromptu motion moved by the C&WDC against the Police and the CP. The motion made unfounded allegations against the Police. The Government disagrees with the impromptu practice of the Council as well as the stance of the motion, and therefore all members of the Government in attendance walked out of the meeting.
