Ms Jane Meriwas:

I thank the Deputy. In the spirit of leaving no one behind, when we talk about accountability it means the need to have an oversight between parliamentarians from Ireland and the country I come from, Kenya, visiting the same communities which aid or whatever it is, is supposed to reach. Seeing and talking are two different things. When one visits and sees they will have a different story. In terms of accountability it means we hold each other accountable. Second, we cannot say that we are accountable when the recipient or even members of the community who are supposed to be the first responders on the ground to receive aid do not have basic education, are not trained, or basically do not have information. That denies them an oversight and the ability to hold leaders accountable. Education is key and having a mechanism in place in order that when we talk about the spirit of leaving no one behind, even the communities the majority, 90%, of whom are semi-literate, can hold their own government and the people who give aid accountable. We also need oversight and reports. I am not sure if I have answered the Deputy's question.
