LOCAL MWANANCHI SHOULD NOT SUFFER IN THE HANDS OF POLITICIANS HUNTING FOR VOTES
Voters in Kenya
By Abigael Chebet
A higher population in Kenya do not live luxurious lives where they can access anything they want in their daily life easily. Majority of Kenyans are in the middle class level and the lower class level where they depend on the small scale job or the white collar jobs to earn a living for their families.
Some families live in the streets and estates where getting the basic needs can be a problem for them.They live in poverty and fending for their families is hard.
Politicians and people working in government offices have got bigger jobs that enable them to live luxurious lives. Politics in Kenya has taken a turn around where these politicians only care about themselves and not the majority of Kenyans who need assistance for example in accessing basic needs.
On Monday, a tweet by Dennis Itumbi show the Jubilee government unleashing brand Prados for Raila’s campaigns as hundreds of Kenyans face a the pain and shame of starvation.
Politicians should lead by example by looking out for Kenyans as these are the same people who made them have their position in government.
Starvation has hit a larger part of the country especially in the northern parts of Kenya where people and animals go for days without food.
This has hit the country at a time when politics is at its peak and politicians are prioritizing their positions in government hunting for votes whereas the people on the ground are suffering due to lack of food and water and higher prices of commodities.
For the past few days Kenyans have been all over the social media crying about the increase in prices of food.
The government ought to consider the lifestyle of Kenyans that not every family can access commodities easily especially with the rise in good prices. They should ensure the state of the economy and balances in the prices of commodities.
Politicians are therefore urged to set their priorities right, that is to ensure that local mwananchi is able to access government services and basic commodities at medium prices as these are the same people who will vote them in in the coming general elections.
