This development demonstrates the government’s commitment to fulfilling its manifesto promises and ensuring the welfare of Assembly Members.
The fulfillment of this manifesto promise is expected to have a positive impact on the lives of Assembly Members and the communities they serve. CODAM’s appreciation of the government’s action demonstrates the coalition’s dedication to working collaboratively with the government to achieve common goals.
