Policy Code: 3g Local Democracy

Problem Statement and Current Policy:

Currently, our local councils are not accountable to the people as the councillors are not elected. We need to bring back local council elections so that the local councils are accountable to the people for their actions. Bringing back local councils elections is a way towards a more participatory form of democracy for the people.
