Administering the oath of office and allegiance, Chief Magistrate of Mabudi Magistrate Court, Hon. Mathias M. Mensem, urged the newly sworn-in officials to uphold their promises and give full support to the Council Chairman in order to drive the progress Langtang South needs.
In his speech, Executive Chairman Nbin reaffirmed his commitment to working for the people, emphasizing that it was time to implement the “bridge-building” slogan he is known for. He stated that there was no more room for lengthy speeches—only action and hard work.
He called on the management staff and the entire workforce to stay committed to their various responsibilities, stressing that it would no longer be “business as usual.” Nbin warned that any negligence would be dealt with accordingly.
