A number of friends have made it clear they will not be taking part in the August 8 elections.
Some have registered as voters while others never bothered. They say those who decide who becomes president are the poor in the society. These are the people who are taken advantage of and bribed to vote for particular candidates irrespective of their track records on development, human rights and other issues. That is why our leaders are not keen on empowering people so they can retain them as their voting machines.
