Writes Leo Odera Omolo in Kisumu City.

Kenyan politicians, especially those aspiring or the presidency of this country must address issues affecting Kenyan people and at the same avoid making utterances meant to antagonize their perceived opponents whether real or imaginary.

The leaders have also been told to weigh their words whenever they addressed their supporters, and leaned to tell the truth about what is happening in heir surroundings.

They must desist from telling lies for the purpose of getting political mileage over their opponents.

These views and sentiments were expressed by Hilary Ochieng Alila, the ODM youth coordinator in Nyanza, Kenyan have natured up politically and only leaders who speaks the truth deserve to be vote in for any elective position either within the County, Senate and in the national assembly.

Speaking by phone from Johannesburg, South Africa where he had gone on business mission, Alila faulted the rebel ODM MPs under the leadership of the Eldoret North Willaim Ruto have gone solo trying hard to rubbish the reputation of he Prime Minister Raila Odinga. “Even other presidential contenders have lost their heads and spent their valuable time only dwelling on the name of Raila Odinga while heaping on him all kinds of falsehood and malicious accusations.”

Kenyans is watching the on going political scenario in. Those thriving on feeding the Kenyan population with all sorts of pack of lies will pay heavy penalty for their crimes when Kenyan goes out to vote for their chosen leaders and lawmakers.

He appealed to youths in Nyanza to engage them on income generating occupation instead of roaming about for handouts. ”People must work had to free themselves from the scourge of abject poverty.

Alila who is contesting the Homa-Bay County Senate seat wished his opponents well, but at the same time urged them to speak on issues and to avoid bad mouthing others. ”They should tell the electorate what are their development agendas.

He thanked President Mwai Kibaki and the Prime Minister Raila Odinga for what he termed as excellent work done on Kenyan roads. Good rural feeder and access roads playing an important in the improvement and mean quick growth of any given region.

In Nyanza, he praised the government for having considered and implemented the construction of Katito-Kendu-Bay, Homa-Bay road. The construction work n Homa-Bay is another milestone of development because the road would be used for dual purpose of transporting farm produce and fish destined to the market in the hinterland. The government has also extended its hand by recarpeting the Rodi-Kopany -Sori road. Rongo-Homa-Bay road is among he many already completed, under the construction and earmarked for the future construction. Good roads for any region mean booming trade and commercial activities.

He said the white-collar jobs are no more; he would embark in supporting more day secondary schools. This is to ensure that by he year 2030 every Kenya Primary School has a secondary school wing to make his or her own contributions towards all the envisaged development of school as planned.

He said, however, that he was not happy with the pace and speeds which the government has put in place the development of cotton seed-cake for animal feeds.

Those politician who are fond of making reckless speech risk sparking off tribal madness and mayhem similar to the 2007 and 2007 post election violence. Kenyans must come out in their true color and vehemently oppose the politics of hate. ”Let them preach only the gospel of love and unity.

All leaders must adopt the true spirit of cohesiveness in the spirit of Unity.
