“It is a contract between the people and the government at all levels, that citizens, will vote, pay taxes and be patriotic.
“However, citizens also require that government provide basic amenities, protect human rights and guarantee the security of lives and property.
“Citizens will do their part and political leaders should also fulfill their obligations as promised in their manifesto, and as required by the constitution,” Charlyboy said.
