Episode Details

APNU MP Sharma Solomon accuses the central government of systematically dismantling local democracy through initiatives like the “Model Village” program, which he says strips communities of revenue and forces dependency on national authorities—echoing colonial-era tactics. He cites concrete failures, including Linden’s lost toll revenue and outdated property valuations, to show how local councils are being crippled. Solomon argues that local leaders have proven capable of self-governance and warns this top-down control is eroding the very spirit of community autonomy.
