Unpopular leaders will be elected because of selfish contestants
Kenya is a democratic country and everyone is eligible to stand for elections. But we have seen people who want to interfere with this election because of particular seats. One of the seat which is is generating a lot of heat is the Nairobi gubernatorial seat. ln Kenya those who desire to contest are those who are well off,leaving people who are poor not able to contest. Nairobi gubernatorial seat has over 10 contestants who desire to be governors come 2017.The problem is that those who are poor and have qualities of a leader will not get a chance in the nomination. Those with political influence and have loads of cash will make sure they influence those who will be elected especially Nairobi and other areas in Kenya. Kenyans will end up choosing only those who will be on the ballot paper and some maybe are unpopular leaders but are good in rhetorics. This has led to constant squabbles among members of the same political party. Example is Nairobi county which has members of the same party wanting for the same seat. Let mob justice not be allowed to meddle in politics of Nairobi gubernatorial seat and other areas in Kenya. Let peace loving Kenyan choose a Godfearing, non tribalistic,hardworking and humble person who will somersault development to the benefit of people of Nairobi county. Let the one elected be able to make Nairobi be like the old city in the sun so that it regain its repute both locally and internationally.
