The Civil Liberties Organisation (CLO), has commended the efforts of the Federal Government in providing palliatives to cushion the effect of fuel subsidy removal.
However, the CLO stated that they believe that transparency is crucial in ensuring that these palliatives reach the targeted citizens and residents of Anambra.
Transparency is the cornerstone of good governance, and it is especially important when it comes to the disbursement of public funds.
The palliatives are meant to alleviate the burden on the citizens and residents of Anambra, and it is our duty as an organization to ensure that they are distributed fairly and without any political bias.
By establishing a committee composed of individuals with impeccable character and integrity, we can ensure that the palliatives are distributed in a manner that benefits all citizens, regardless of their political affiliation, religion, ethnicity, or clan.
This committee should be transparent in its actions and be accountable to the public.
One of the main concerns we have is the potential for the palliatives to be used for political patronage and to compensate political loyalists.
To avoid this, we strongly recommend that the political class is not included in the committee responsible for the disbursement. This will help prevent any misuse of the funds for personal or political gain.
Instead, the committee should focus on ensuring that the palliatives reach the targeted beneficiaries. They should prioritize the needs of the citizens and residents of Anambra, without any form of discrimination or favoritism.
In order to hold the committee accountable and ensure that justice is done to all, the CLO will actively monitor and observe the disbursement of the palliatives.
We will not tolerate any form of hoarding or abuses that may occur during the distribution process. Our goal is to ensure that every citizen and resident of Anambra benefits from the palliatives.
We have learned from past experiences, such as the distribution of COVID-19 palliatives, where hoarding and abuses became prevalent.
We are committed to preventing a repeat of such incidents and ensuring that the palliatives are used for their intended purpose.
Transparency is key in the disbursement of the fuel subsidy palliatives in Anambra.
By establishing a committee of individuals with integrity, avoiding political patronage, and actively monitoring the disbursement process, we can ensure that the palliatives reach those who need them the most.
Let us work together to make this a reality and alleviate the burden on the citizens and residents of Anambra.
