Kenya Livestock Marketing Council chairman Dubat Amey has urged Jubilee and NASA to nominate leaders with fresh ideas.
Mr Amey while speaking in Garissa on Sunday urged the parties as they select the list of nominees to the East African Legislative Assembly (EALA) to choose leaders with fresh ideas who will turn around the country.
Mr Amey said the country needs such leaders to address the challenges facing Kenyans adding that recycling old leaders with the same old mentality will not take the country forward.
He urged the parties to withdraw the list of EALA candidates and a new one reconstituted saying the names presented to Parliament by Jubilee and NASA were mainly party loyalists and close relatives of party leaders.
“Don’t we have Kenyan technocrats with fresh ideas that can propel this country, rather than recycling old leaders with the same old mentality and who, in the past, have added no value to the politics of this country?”
“The list consists of leaders whose background and past are questionable. They’ve been in government and other institutions, which they did little to transform. We’re tired of seeing the same faces and individuals over and over again,” said Mr Amey.
The chairman further said if leaders want to unite this country, they should start with appointments to key positions so all Kenyans feel included in government.
