Datuk Seri Dr Joachim Gunsalam emphasized the importance of local authorities implementing strategic plans to enhance their delivery of services to the community. He stated that such plans are necessary for each local authority in order to provide proper services and meet the expectations of the people. Dr Gunsalam made these remarks during the annual Sabah Local Government conference in Kota Kinabalu.
According to Dr Gunsalam, local authorities should focus on organizing their workflow to increase their effectiveness in delivering services and remain competitive. He emphasized the need for local governments to create advantages for their districts and prioritize the needs of their respective areas. Additionally, he stressed the importance of development plans aligning with sustainable environmental requirements.
Dr Gunsalam mentioned the significance of strategic planning in setting the direction for the development and management of districts.
