I will actively commit by making sure that all the available resources within the Municipality infrastructure are used effectively to benefit all the citizens through AIM's 10 steps to make our city work.
There are countless places to visit or see, galleries, historical attractions, museums, nature reserves and the beaches.
I joined AIM because I witnessed an inept local administration attempt to deliver services to the people of the Metro all whilst floundering rudderless as political parties played musical chairs with the highest office, the Metro, that of the mayor.
What touched me most is the inequality and unemployment which grew exponentially in our Metro all whilst we as a Metro are endowed with young capable citizens, access to the ocean economy and bountiful resources.
The decay and ruin I witnessed plaguing public infrastructure compelled me to make a stand and join Aim in order to bring about change to my beloved city.
