How can leaders improve citizen participation in community work for improved service delivery?
BACKGROUND
On 20th November 2014, the Daily Monitor reported a story where the District
Chairperson of Lwengo District Mr. George Mutabaazi caned residents of
Nakalinzi and Lwentamu villages in the district for reportedly refusing to
participate in voluntary community work to clear their road- commonly known as
Bulungi Bwansi.
Mr. Mutabazi raided several homes and kiosks, beat up residents and directed
them to take up their tools like slashes and hoes to clear bushes along feeder
roads in their areas. The district chairperson also blamed the village leaders
for increased laxity in encouraging local citizens to participate in community
work like construction of toilets and taking their children to school.
Mr. Mutabaazi’s action caused outrage in some sections of the society like
human rights organizations and other local citizens like Mr. Michael Katabalwa
of Lwengo district who said that it violates people’s rights and humiliates
them. However, others applauded Mr. Mutabaazi’s action and called on all
leaders across the country to emulate his action because it restores sanity,
orderliness and ensures a sense of responsibility.
