He said the government was hopeful that together with LCN, they could confront these challenges and fight locally, regionally and internationally.
“The LCN has stayed resolute in its activities by remaining a watchdog on governance issues,” he said. “Civil society organisations have played a big role in the ongoing reforms process.”
He said the LCN's role was to complement government's effort in bringing peace and stability in the country.
