Elections are an essential part of the
democratization process
and the ability to participate in free and fair elections is
one of the cardinal pillars
of a democratic and just society. For any electoral
process to bring meaning to
the
citizens there
must be a level of satisfaction as
afar as legitimacy is concerned
because it is the foundation for democratic
governance and promotion of integrity in any electoral process.

However,
when citizens doubt the efficiency of any
electoral process
or its quality, then it sets
a foundation and pattern
for dispute of election results
and loss of billions
of public resources.
Should these challenges
consistently remain unanswered, it can
build a disgruntled citizenry and result in serious
consequences leading to
riots,
destruction of property and
loss of lives as witnessed
in some countries like Sudan, Kenya, etc. It’s against this background that
ToroDev has come up this skits that carry information on civic education as we
are nearing to election

ToroDev
has recorded a number of skits carrying 
information on civic education and are aired out on ToroDev sponsored
talkshows on Hits Fm, KRC FM, Jubilee Fm, the skits  comprises information, about democratic
governance, voters rights, political parties and encouraging peace before and
after voting. 

The skits are aired
out 15 minutes every Wednesday on KRC Fm at 8:00 pm, every Saturday on Hits Fm
at 8:00pm and every Sunday on Jubilee Fm at 8:00pm, local citizens actively
participated through call–ins and sending SMS during the play of skits to give
comments.  

“Family
and money issues should not be involved in determining who to vote, since it’s
a secret ballot we know what to do, voters should not bring chaos in families
but keep argue less as longer as know what. The head of family, should not
decide for his family members on whom to vote”. Said Kisembo Lawrence, caller
from Fort-portal
