Nyamira County elders have called upon area residents to ensure that they vote out leaders who are not development oriented.
The elders have accused elected leaders of fueling animosity among the residents from the area, and dividing them along political lines.
They further said it was unfortunate that politicians, who are supposed to be role models, were instead doing the contrary for their own selfish political ambitions.
Through their chairman, Julius Mogeni the elders said they will not allow leaders to divide area residents, and urged locals to be on the look out.
“We have in the past few months see elected leaders from the county try to play dirty policits, which won’t help us at now,” he added.
He said that most of them were politicking every project that is being carried by the county government, and there was need to ensure that all them work together towards ensuring the residents benefit fully from the projects.
“We all know most of them are eyeing on some top seats, but it is good for them to preach peace and wait for the election time and the best will be elected,” he added.
