Last year, the local authority undertook an evaluation exercise on all properties in the district to determine the number of properties on title.

Council Secretary Tryson Chunga disclosed in an interview that rate payers are failing to their pay their bills hence affecting the local authority’s revenue base.

Mr. Chunga stated that it is the duty of every rate payer whose property is on title to remit rates to the local authority.

“But it is very disappointing to note that the rate payers are not paying the rates despite notices,” said Mr. Chunga.

He disclosed that despite issuing notices in May this year, only a few individuals have made payments.

He mentioned that people should realise that the local authority needs income for it to successfully provide services to the people.

“And one of the avenues we collect money for service provision is through rates. But it is disappointing that people are not paying,” he said.

He has urged all residents whose property is on title to pay the rates.
