This is really good work.. Leaders have to clear the air on all questions citizens ask.
ReplyDeleteAs well as, we demand for our rights, time is now for the us as citizens also to be part of the game!! Our responsibilities as citizens of Uganda needed to be hightlighted since all messages hinge on rights!! I was delighted by Mr. Primus when he emphasized that, it was our responsibility to pay TAX, thats when we as Ugandans we could hold our leaders accountable since we had a beginning point.
ReplyDeleteI believe social accountable should be two-way

if the government is reminded of her duties and responsibility by organizations like Rweco, i think good quality results can be realized. this will also seize cases of corruption and improve service delivery to the masses in the district. masses should also show interest as a way of demanding for social accountability.
