Persons living with disabilities across Kisii County have been challenged to be wary of politicians who may look into using them as a stepping stone to get into power.
According to area Women Representative Mary Otara, most of the politicians pretend to be caring during the electioneering period only to show their true characters after polls.
Speaking at Bombaba area on Wednesday while issuing cheques to various groups, Otara also warned politicians against taking the disabled for granted in the community.
"We are in an election year and it is important that youn be careful of politicians. Some just want to use you during this period," she said.
"Elect leaders who have immeasurable love to you. Do not be swayed with little money they give out," she added.
Otara pledged to continue supporting Women, youth and the disabled as she seeks her second term in office.
