It's another year of campaigns for various seats ahead of the 2017 general elections. Politicians use every conceivable means to win the hearts of potential voters. However, I believe there are three ultimate lies that they should avoid this time election.
Employment of youths in government offices
It is sad that majority of the politicians goes from village to village telling the youths that once elected, youths should expect white collar job from the government. While this will be a five percent reality, 95% of the youths will not get a chance to work in those white collar jobs. Therefore, politicians should compose a systematic approach of dealing with unemployment issue, and it should not be necessarily white collar jobs as many promised.
Over-promising and under-delivering of projects
There comes a time when we should call a spade a spade and not a big spoon. The politicians have tendency of promising thousands of development activities in villages but when it comes to delivering, majority are the most lazy people. They should promise what they can deliver so that the voters could see inevitable change.
Mocking the poor
During elections time, most politicians use weird strategy of convincing voters to vote in another election. They are seen eating with the poor in the most remote huts or even launching electricity project in a leaking house. Where were such politician in last four years? Why is voter the best friend when election nears? It's time the voters open up their minds and understands that through voting, we can transform the world.
