Accountability, a pillar of Cuba’s democratic system

Considered one of the pillars of the Cuban democratic system, the delegates' accountability continues nationwide to strengthen people's participation in the government.
 
 
This process, active through November 20, allows the more than 10,000 People’s Power delegates to receive information from the population through constructive debates, to find solutions to community problems. Nancy Acosta, head of the Office of Attention to Local Administrations at the Council of Ministers, informed that the main concerns expressed by the voters in the last few years include the high prices of essential products, water shortage, and sewage treatment.

The population has also expressed concerns about the construction and maintenance of houses and apartment buildings, the poor state of roads, public transportation, fixed phones, and improvements to electrification.

Addressing the recent meeting of the Council of Ministers, Acosta stated that as of late July, some 1,712,781 suggestions had been formulated, 1,551,499 of which has been resolved.

She explained that the institutions with the lowest percentage of resolution are the Ministries of Public Works, Economy and Planning, Communications, Energy and Mines, and the Central Bank of Cuba.

Prime Minister Manuel Marrero has stressed that bureaucratic problems cannot be allowed to accumulate without a solution.
