Sift the chaff from campaign talk and elect deserving leaders

After months of boisterous and sometimes repetitive crusades, candidates aspiring for seats in Tuesday’s General Election made their final pitch as the campaign period officially came to an end on Friday. It is now up to voters to elect those they think will best serve their interests.

The expectation now is that those elected to public office will use their positions to serve the nation diligently. And this is why voters have to be careful about their choice of leaders — for far too long, the public outcry has been that corruption and sloth has been the bane of this country. And yet tribalism and mismanagement of public resources is a direct consequence of those we elect. We saw the character and true nature of these leaders during the campaign period. And now it’s our turn to vote.
