The people's leaders

Political transition is on and as civil society members we have expectations and concerns for the future leaders. Here MS Uganda partners at the AGM engage in discussions to express their expectations of future leaders. This was after the presentation by Prof. J.B. Kwesiga of DENIVA and Ms. Kahorono Elizabeth of Living Earth on the paper ‘2006 and our changing political landscape: A minimum Agenda from civil society’. Here are expected values aired at the Annual Meeting. (fh and jbk)
