The Tonkolili District Council has recently announced new fees for public events, including musical rallies, school thanksgiving ceremonies, and street jogging, prompting questions from residents.
A press release detailing the new charges has raised concerns, with many locals questioning the reasoning behind the fees. Organizing a musical rally will now come with a substantial cost, while schools planning thanksgiving services will also need to pay. Even street jogging, a popular activity for young people and fitness enthusiasts, is subject to a fee.
Reactions have been mixed. Some believe the fees are necessary to maintain order and security at public events, while others feel they place an unnecessary burden on schools and youth groups with limited resources.
The council has yet to respond to public inquiries, leaving many residents to debate the impact of the new fees on community life.
