Garissa Jubilee Party Women Representative aspirant Ms Annab Gure has urged the residents to elect leaders on grounds of integrity and accountability.
Gure said the region would continue struggling economically if leaders were chosen based on their clan or party they belong.
Speaking in Garissa after being endorsed by a group of non-locals residing in the area, Gure said that those seeking public offices should demonstrate high degree of integrity and accountability.
“I urge our people, as they go to cast their votes in August 8, to choose candidates who will have outlined a manifesto that can be implemented for the benefit of women and youth,” Ms Gure said.
The women rep said that the rot in public offices can be avoided by electing leaders with visionary focus adding that she is confident of being elected by all the 43 tribes in the country.
She said now the electorate are more enlightened and a large number of them will vote for leaders not tribal, party or clan affiliation but on their agenda that addresses their concerns.
“I will go out and also seek votes from my rivals perceived strongholds because I want to be elected by all the 43 Kenyan tribes,”
“I think this is the way we should go as a country. Kenyans should vote in leaders who will not only transform their country but build a united country that the 43 tribes can be proud of,” she added.
