10.2 Interaction with city and regional administrations. To implement truly powerful initiatives, we interact with city, regional, and district administrations. Civil servants in such administrations must be professionals hired at taxpayers' expense. We are committed to cooperating with state bodies to obtain information, implement projects and initiatives, monitor their implementation, and promote transparency and accountability to our readers.
Gwara Media and its fact-checking department are not funded by political forces or individual politicians, nor do we receive funds from state institutions.
