5 REASONS WE NEED LOCAL GOVERNMENT
Content: Making noise is not an effective form of participation in the building of the nation. The second reason is Participation. Sustained development requires sustained focus. The National Government’s responsibility is to respond to the current needs of the country as a whole. Your community’s agenda will therefore seldom be its focus. Hence, we have become accustomed to the Government’s habit of “launch and leave”. The third reason is Development. Leadership is trained, not selected or anointed. The training ground for political leaders is in the communities, at the local level, not in Cabinet. You will never get growth in the quality of leadership without the availability of a Local Government training ground.
