Vote for new leaders in Taita Taveta

Taita Taveta voters should not repeat the mistakes they have been making in the past as far as the choice of leaders is concerned.

Gone are the days when leaders would buy voters using petty things like lesos, rice and Sh200 handouts.

The truth of the matter is that any aspiring leader who bribes voters is not worth his salt.

Voters should ensure a clean sweep and total change of leadership come 2017 elections.

Among the issues that any leader who aspires to leave a legacy in Taita Taveta should tackle are land, wildlife and water. It is unfortunate that our people are still being referred to as squatters on their ancestral land.

The Tsavo National Park boundary has been increasing towards the native’s territory thereby denying them land for agriculture and livestock keeping. This has rendered wildlife virtually useless to the locals.
