All his work is guided in the rinci le of moving Muntnlu a forward, envisioning the city to beone of the leading investment hubs in the country.
He does it by equi ing the government workforce with young breed of locals hungry to changeand serve Muntnlu a – their home.
With the vision of an ex onental growth, the local exec also aves the way of develo ment inthe internatonal community through sister-city agreements with Takasaki, Ja an, Luizhou, China,Stafanstor , Sweden, among others.
