“More leaders should be mobilized to come on radio to give listeners accountability & also share their work plans for the public to understand what they have done or plan to do, we have bad roads and we do not know what they are planning’’, said Julius from Mugusu in Kabarole district.
“Leaders should be united together so that they  have a spirit to work for the people with the aim of improving service delivery and this will increase on lobbying mentality amongst themselves’’, said  K.K Francis from Bukwali in Kabarole district.

“We request those organizations that can help to translate the constitution in our local languages to do it such that everyone can understand what the law of the country talks about, this will also help us to know our human rights & responsibilities as citizens as we advocate for improved services in our communities’’, said Tadeo a caller from Rwengaju  in Kabarole district.

“Radio talk shows has helped to bridge the gap between duty bearers and us citizens, when leaders & technocrats are hosted on radio, we get chance to engage them on issues we feel vital from our communities. Please continue to bring them live to give us accountability & their plans and this will help our communities develop’’, said  Twinamasiko Julius  a caller from Kabarole distinct.

“Toro dev should put more emphasis on bringing experts from the health sectors to talk on health care programs more especially on people with disabilities. We need to be guided as PWD’s on how to benefit from government programs like anyother citizen in the country’’, said Norah from Gweri Kabarole district

We take this opportunity to thank SIDA, NED, SPIDER, ICT4DEM, CIPESA & all other development partners for the financial and technical support to run these programs
