The 6th Annual Devolution Conference held under the theme “Deliver. Transform. Measure.: Remaining Accountable” organized by the Council of Governors in collaboration with other stakeholders’ including National Government Ministries, Agencies and Departments, Development Partners, Non-Governmental organizations and the Private Sector.
Prior to the 5th ADC, Devolution Conferences were held to discuss general/global successes, challenges and solutions in the implementation of the devolved structure in the Country. The Steering committee of the 5th ADC decided to change the conference modality and use a sector-based approach while at the same time retain the general/global perspective structure. These resulted to adoption of a four (4) sector breakaway sessions mirroring the Presidents Big Four (4) agenda together with a general cross cutting discussion in the conference.

I've been experimenting with portions (and I had pizza on Sunday), so a gain of only one pound is good!
I'm still doing a brisk walk three times a week. We had a great hike this weekend. I have not gotten any other exercise in - I just can't find the right at-home 'program' for me.

Mayor Ras J. Baraka and the Newark Municipal Council announced today that the City of Newark will hold a public hearing on the Executive Order to create a Newark Police Civilian Complaint Review Board
“We are seeking public input, ideas, concerns, and solutions as we create this groundbreaking measure to enforce police accountability and government transparency in our beloved City,” said Mayor Baraka. “We are completely changing the way our Police Department interacts with our residents, and these hearings will create the path by which we do it. I urge all Newark residents to attend, listen, and speak.”
The board will provide Newark residents with an opportunity to make complaints about police misconduct involving excessive use of force, abuse of authority, unlawful arrest, unlawful stop, unlawful searches, discourtesy, or use of offensive language, including but not limited to, slurs relating to race, ethnicity, religion, gender, sexual orientation, and disability.
Their findings will be submitted to the Police Director. No current or former police employees, excluding the Inspector General, will serve on the board.
