These, she said , will help them legislate with full knowledge of people’s views."Umuganda is an exercise you have to own; this is the only way we can develop our country. The road we have just rehabilitated, for example, will be used by farmers to transport their produce to access markets,” she said.She said that the exercise was equally an opportune moment for the lawmakers to conduct outreach activities to interact with the electorate.
