"Why Accountability Matters" -- a discussion with Texas Commissioner of Education Robert Scott at The Texas Tribune Festival on Sept. 25, 2011.
"The Accountability Corps has made me understand that (local government) projects carried out by contractors can be monitored. This creates 'fear' in these contractors and makes them put things right. Through membership of the Corps, I now have contact with different contractors, community leaders and even the LGA Chairman and some of his representatives, of which I never dreamt."
-Veronica Elo, a citizen of Isoko North Local Government Authority in the Delta State.
The Accountability Corps is a voluntary group of people, particularly youths, who come together in each community across the project sites with the self-assigned mission of monitoring the performance of government projects within their communities and holding authorities accountable for the funds expended.
This forms part of the Developing Good Governance in the Niger Delta project activities.

I just walked into the Bank of America on 17th and 5th. As usual, they
were showing CNN on their lobby TV. Normally I would have walked right
by without a thought. Today though, I stopped to see the "breaking
news".
President Obama - after 24 hours in office - was announcing how this
new administration will be transparent. No secrecy. Accountability.
Following the rule of law (!). Plus, no one on the White House staff
will have a salary more than $100k. My stomach sank as I *truly*
realized - HOLY SHIT have these past eight years been bad!
I started clapping and looked around - everyone in the bank had
gathered around the TV, all with an expression of "Wow" on their
faces. It's really happening. This change shit is *really* happening!
I felt for the first time the true depth of change this president will
bring to our country. I didn't get teary-eyed in election night or
even during the inauguration yesterday. Yet today - watching this man
in action - has moved me to the point of sending a gushy email to my
friends and family.
HOLY SHIT!!!!!! CHANGE!!!!
Love always, Lilli

Where Does the Accountability of Parliamentary Left Lies? .
CPI & its Student Wing AISF: AISF, which until last elections has been fighting elections in alliance .
with SF!. In last two elections that were held under Lyngdoh, it allied with DSF. In the current elections now they are just doing a mockery of being separate from SFI/DSF. Its parental party, the Communist Party of India (CPI) has long ago compromised with the cause of revolution and adopted the line of revisionism. Its class base is the land-owning section and the petty bourgeoisie, though it claims to have dalits and adivasis as their social base. It is nothing but a tail of Congress which has a long history of serving the British Colonialism and now American Imperialism. Whenever there emerged a people's struggle against feudalism, casteism and colonialism, the CPI actually, like .
Gandhi, served the colonial rulers by diverting towards reformism. They are the one who are supporting AFSPA in North-East. In the words of CPI Manipur State Committee General Secretary L Jotinkumar, jCPI never demanded repeal of AFSPA'. In fact CPI's party programme do not even utter a single word on the .
Nationality Struggles. Recently in the anti-POSCO struggle in Orissa the nexus between CPI and BJD got exposed. In fact some JNU students who visited Gobindpur (Orissa) are witness to the deal between CPI and BJP for a few assembly seats! In JNU, following its masters, AI SF has been indulged in the anti-student activities. Recently, when there was an indefinite hunger strike on the issue of gender discriminatory practices in hostel fines and the culture of arbitrary fines, the AI SF actually collaborated with the Administration and shamelessly publicized that the Adminsitration has accepted all our demands. Whereas in reality the Adminsitratior again cheated the student community by lying that the matter will be discussed in the IHA meeting. The Concerned Students brought out its public position on the failure of the hunger strike. In fact when the IHA meeting was finally held on 30/8/2013 it is not shocking that the matter of arbitrary fines in Sutlaj and gender discrimination in fines was not at all discussed. There is an interesting character of AISF that must be brought before the students. AISF always take double positions in any matter. Informally it will say something and when it comes to take a position in any formal meeting, it takes a u-turn. For instance, when the .
Concerned Students decided to go into indefinite hunger strike against arbitrary fines and gender discriminatory practices in fines, the AI SF leadership met us personally and 'committed' to support our hunger stke. But on the same day when the All Organisation meeting was called, it, going by its history of betrayal, opposed our hunger strike. Finally when the Concerned Students amidst all 5/8/2013, the AISF Durgest Tripathi publically in the protest demonstration used the.
opposition sat on the hunger strike on brahamnical expression of supporting the hunger stike. He said, 'hamara ashiravaad aap sabke saath hai.' This again exposes their brahamanical nature. The tail of social fascist CPM, the CPI and its student wing AISF is an anti-people force and corrupted at its core. CPM & its Student Wing SFI: the list of anti-people policies of the social fascist CPM is endless. We all know what CPM did in Marichjhapi, Nandigram and Singur. It was the mother of all Nandigrams. If there was one Nandigram on March 14, 2007, then .
perhaps there were dozens of Nandigrams during the three-day cleanse-Marichjhapi operation in January 1979. It was one of the .
biggest massacre of Dalits in South Asia conducted by CPM. and now in our catnpus we see SFI/DSF vigorously shouting the slogans, baba tere sapnon ko manzil tak pahuchayenge. Marichjhapi is one glaring instance that exposes their hypocrisy. It is the clear symbol of decay and degeneration of the parliamentary CPM when people find the CPM leaders at various levels are directly .
-perfect example of the marriage of religion (readinvolved in the big-budget religious celebrations, Durga Puja in particular .
brahamanism) with parliamentary Marxism. In its long history of rule in West Bengal it has never implemented the reservation. And in JNU, SFI shouts vociferously for reservation! But if we look into their arguments in support of reservation, their brahamanicallogic clearty comes out. When the students were fighting for the implementation of 27 percent osc· reservation, they stood for the 54 percent seat increase. Its an obvious move to appease their upper caste vote bank in which they are securing 27 percent seats for .
upper castes in the wake of 27 percent 'reduction' of seats for OBCs. What they are saying now is that the old admission policy of JNU was better than th~ current one. This sweeping statement again shows their vote bank calculations at the time of elections now. We all know that the old admission policy means a time when the OBC reservation was not implemented. So how come an admission policy which denies reservation be progressive than the current one? Not only this, they have not till date come out with their position on the caste discrimination in viva-voice. We ask them to clarify do they believe that viva-voice is one of the tools of caste discrimination or not? The revisionist CPM, which has turned into a ruling class party has surrendered to the World Bank, IMF and MNCs by inviting them to ~~develop" West Bengal under 'Left: Front rule. We all know that the people of Nandigram fought valiantly against the setting up of .
a Special Economic Zone (SEZ) in their villages by the Salem group of industries of Indonesia in collaboration with the notorious 14 March.
Dow Chemicals of the U.S. Thousands of women were humiliated, harassed, molested and raped in the carnage on 2007. The SFI and its B Team DSF who are now becoming the champions of gender justice, are the one who supportd Brinda Kar.at's (the polit bureau member of CPM) statement that one should not get distressed as there were only four cases of rape in Nandigram. And here in the campus they are supposedly leading the flag against the 31st July incident. In 2008 when peasants o1 Singur protested against the land grab for Tata's car factory, the CPM resorted to violence on the struggle people which resulted in .

Another year to add to the appreciation we must show for your life’s work.
We are honored everyday by the actions of this man and his generation that were able to make a change within the U.S.A.. We thank you for the efforts, the patience, the fortitude, and the contempt you showed when the majority refused to listen and budge for the minority. May we all continue to lead by example and not hide behind excuses and other strong-willed individuals to take the brunt of the blows in our fight for equality. Let us make better and smarter decisions that are bigger than ourselves. Let us stand up for what is right. Stand up for what is true. And stand up for your rights to live free from tyranny, various forms of enslavement, fear mongering, psychological coersion, indifference and abuse.
Hate keeps us apart. We must all open up our hearts to accept the differences we all have in this world and respect one another. .
May we all atleast take the time out today to learn the idealism set in motion by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
