Leaders should structure manifestos that are good for the society
By: Mwaura Elishifa
After IEBC giving nod to four presidential candidates who met the requirements, hopefully one of them will succeed President Kenyatta who is expected to leave the office after serving his two terms in the office. These candidates have unveiled a number of things they will address in their first 100 days in the office. For instance, Azimio la Umoja– one Kenya alliance unveiled its manifestos that were in a 41 pages document. This is an indication that even though there coalition has not formed the government, we can acknowledge that Kenyans have problems that really needs to be addressed.
However, even if there are many issues that need to be addressed, there is need for leaders to structure manifestos that are good for the society even though their manifestos are realistic. For instance, the party leader of roots party, Prof. George Wajackoyah has come in public to woo Kenyans to vote for him since he will ensure that his government will legalise bang. This has made youths on social media to popularise his presidential candidature.
He advocates that bang should be planted in all public places instead of planting flowers. He believes, due to higher demand of bang and it’s good price in the market, Kenya can be able to settle it’s debt and still Kenyans have something in the pocket.
Despite his manifestos being realistic, such leaders should not take the government; bang it is not the only solution to problems Kenyans are going through. Bang is not good for the society and should remain illegal. If the next government can fight corruption and lay good mechanism to support mushrooming businesses persons, then Kenyans will be out of hardship. Even though Kenya need liberation, let leaders obey the rules and norms of Kenya.
