“The role of grassroots leaders is important because it helps the government know the problems faced by the people and to find solutions. Do not be like the grassroots leaders before this , where many people’s problems were not known. Jaujan said favouritism, and giving preference to family ties in channelling all forms of assistance should be avoided, and a leader should instead be fair and listen to the problems faced by all the residents.
