Question

The Ward Councillor is elected by the people of his ______________.

Answer 1

Hint: The city is divided into different wards and ward councilors are elected for each of these wards. Groups of councilors take the complicated decisions that affect the entire city. They form committees to decide and debate issues.

Complete answer:
The issues involve for example if a crowded market-place needs to have its garbage cleared more often, or bus stands need to be improved, or there is a 'nala' or a drain that goes through the city that needs cleaning, etc. It is these committees for garbage collection, water, street lighting, etc. that decide on the work that needs to be done. The people who live in the ward can contact their councilors when the problems are within ward. For example, the local Councillor can help them if there are dangerous electrical wires hanging down. He can get in touch with the electricity authority and do the needful. While the councilors and the Councillor's Committees decide on issues, the administrative staff and the Commissioner implement these. The administrative staff and the Commissioner are appointed whereas Councillors are elected.
A Ward Councillor is responsible for the construction of hospitals. These ward councilors are elected by the people living in that ward/area. Groups of Councillors make decisions on policy-making. Duties of the Ward Councillors include making the budget. They also look into the demands of their respective Wards. They also assign the implementation task to the administrative staff.

Note: The Commissioner and the administrative staff are the people involved in the implementation process. They are appointed staff and not elected staff.
