SPIRITUALITY-BASIS OF GOOD GOVERNANCE

This morning, in their home, 73 year old and Ex-town councilor Belen Saavedra told the Observer that when leadership is spiritually based, comes proper governance,one that is "for the people, of the people and by the people". This kind of governance, she continued, is an enlightened one and the leader is also one that is politically correct. None can be like this if a leader is like what we have these days when administrators are lords and the people servants. There is that need to establish moral infrastructures to reverse this kind of leadership, she said. "We need social transformation with spirituality as basis". For if the leader doesn't have this, he is surely ridden with pride, greed and self-denial is absent, she added. Asked,in the scale of 10, how she rates Gogoy as administrator, she gave him 6.
