Hear from Alfred Sesay, a student in the Western Area of Sierra Leone, as his words remind us that for accountability to be possible, citizens should have access to their Members of Parliament.

Accountability begins with access. Citizens cannot ask questions, seek answers, or follow up on promises if they cannot reach their representatives. Knowing how to contact your MP is part of having an informed and active citizenry, which is at the heart of democracy.

Alfred Sesay talks about requesting his MPs' contacts.
