Figure 49: Respondents’ perception towards the importance of elected representatives Figure 50: Respondents’ opinion about important services provided by the local council There were relatively few responses when the respondents were questioned as to what the most important service offered by the local administration was. This may point towards low levels of service delivery or low levels of information provided about the services offered. Security was nonetheless cited as the most important service provided by the local administration, having been mentioned 16 times (Fig 50). Conversely however, the response rate was much higher when respondents were asked about the most pressing local issues. Unemployment, poor education and poor health were the top 3 most cited problems, being attributed to 296, 267 and 209 responses respectively. Poor sanitation, bad health centres, lack of infrastructure, lack of water, weak economy and shortage of electricity supply were also frequently mentioned (Fig 51). 33
Figure 51: Respondents’ opinions about the most pressing local issues Most of the research participants were not familiar with the services provided by the district administrations, and if they were, they expressed a level of discontent: education and, sanitation and health (WASH) services were the most desirable services in each of the districts in the Eastern zone 56 . Most of the schools and hospitals in the districts (barring a few exceptions) were privately owned and poor families did not have access to these services due to their limited resources. According to the Traditional elders’ discussion participants “poor parents cannot send their children to school and children become idle which is very risky”. 56 Traditional elders, Focus Group Discussion, Eastern Zone, 4 March 2014 34
