As 2017 approaches, we have to say no to poor leadership.
Do not vote for leaders because of their looks, sense of fashion, wealth or oratory ability.
Mombasa County has experienced many problems that can only be tackled by a selfless leader who stands for his word.
Water shortage, terror attacks, poor road networks, land grabbing and drug trafficking are among the problems that have hampered the development of this county.
It is disturbing to hear some residents claiming to support certain candidates because of their close relationship to them.
It does not make sense to vote for someone because he/she is your brother, uncle, cousin or in-law only for him/her to embezzle county funds.
We need a leader who will serve the people of this county without any form of segregation.
We are tired of leaders who ignore certain areas because the residents did not support them during the general election.
If all residents of this county vote for one person, then the word democracy will lose its meaning.
As much as each of the candidates has his or her flaws, we should choose the best.
Mombasa will only regain her lost glory if the residents make a wise decision come 2017.
The future of Mombasa lies in your hands.
