ACTIONSA’s MOYA TO ‘HIT THE GROUND RUNNING’
“I think the main thing that’s going to happen is that they will start to see more of the MMCs on the ground with communities following the money ensuring that the services that are budgeted for are actually getting delivered to the community,” says Moya.
“I think that’s the first thing that they should watch out for once the election is done and we give a day or two to get our plans together and the following we could hit the ground running obviously I’m still on the outside we just waiting for the elections.”
