Politicians without manifestos don’t deserve office

One of the things every politician must have as they seek to be elected is a manifesto.

A manifesto is a plan of action. It should ideally show what the leader will do for the people if elected. That is why these manifestos must be made public and in good time so that wananchi can also inspect it and decide if what is contained in there is what they want. And a manifesto that does not guarantee development should be discarded. That aspirant should not also be considered as he or she lacks a vision for the people. Every manifesto must be aligned to the development needs of the people, including eradication of poverty. Mwari Maina
