Kamba says the stamps will be returned to the chairpersons after an induction meeting scheduled to take place next week.
He explains that the induction is important in helping the chairpersons know their roles.
Several Local Council officials have previously been arrested and jailed due to failure to correctly perform their roles as a result of ignorance of the law.
