Ms Katongola says the Council has is offering an incentive of 25 per cent discount on those who clear their ground rent balances.

She has encouraged people to honour their obligations and pay what they owe the Council so that they can be able to offer quality service delivery to the community and also to enable the local authority meet its operational costs.
