Units or sections that report directly to the executive head and not through another directorate are the Public Relations, Procurement, Internal Auditing Section and the ICT sections.

The Office of the Council Secretary

The office of the Council Secretary serving as the institution's Chief Executive Officer (CEO) assumes the oversight responsibility of the day-to-day operations of the Local Authority and spearheading the delivery of developmental programs within the district.

This section is responsible for developing and implementing checks, and controls, conducting risk assessments, and overseeing management procedures both at policy level and operations.

Procurement Section

The Procurement Section, as a critical component of the institution, is responsible for overseeing and managing all procurement processes. This section ensures that all purchases of goods and services are conducted per established policies, legislation, and procedures promoting transparency, fairness, and cost-effectiveness.
