The character of many Kenyan leaders has been marked with political dirt.Our leaders lack honesty and seriousness.They lack seriousness in running public affairs.They concentrate on the benefits they get out of their posts.They are more interested in the amount of money they will make.They don't care about the welfare of the citizens.Our leaders have turned our country into a country of the few rich and the majority poor.They don't have the interests of the citizens at heart.According to them,it is all about me,myself and I.They put their personal interests first.It is all about everyone for himself/herself and God for us all.The very leaders enforce unpopular policies in order to benefit themselves.Majority of our leaders have lost the concept of servant-leadership.Leaders aspire for leadership in public affairs not in order to serve the people but to serve themselves.Many of the so called leaders spend very little time serving the people.They spend most of the time doing their personal business.But when do they serve the people?I hold the view that leaders are employees of the public and must spend most of the time serving their employers,the citizens.Our leaders see leadership positions as an opportunity for the acquisition of personal wealth.Most of our leaders are selfish and self-centred. Our leaders have made corruption part and parcel of their lives.They steal from the public coffers and this adversely affects our economy.They preach water but drink wine.The looting of public institutions by some of our leaders has plunged some of our public institutions into dire financial constraints.Some public institutions have collapsed leaving thousands of Kenyans jobless.Leaders must develop a culture of honesty and accountability.A good leader should be fair,honest and must possess the attitude of servant-leadership. Dear Kenyans,we should not entertain self-seekers and opportunists who are motivated by self-interest rather than commitment to serve and sacrifice for one's country.On 4th March 2013,we have a chance to choose good leaders.Let's evaluate all candidates that have offered their candidature in the coming elections and make an informed and independent decision.We must change the way we conduct our politics.We must choose leaders who will add value to our lives.Let us vote for leaders who will transform our country.Let us not be influenced by parties or tribal affiliations when voting.Let us vote for aspirants with leadership qualities.It is our future and our children's future that is at stake.Choose the right leaders,accept nothing less.Vote for leaders who care about Kenya.Vote for leaders who have the interests of the citizens at heart.Your vote counts.Make the right choice.Vote wisely.God bless Kenya.
