VOICE OF THE VOICE LESS

Looking through the crowd, the silent voices of the Children kept beckoning me to get their views about the topic at hand- a vote bought is a service denied. Reject vote buying now.

Atwine Martha a13 year old girl and a student of Bugongi SS said that if she and her parents received handouts (money, soap, and sugar) from politicians she would advise them to use them but vote an able candidate after listening to detailed manifesto.

This is because of her experience when her father came back home during the last elections bragging about the money he had received from the campaigns  of a certain candidate whom she doesn’t remember because she was so young and yet she heard from the community members that leaders are not delivering promised services like good roads, better school facilities, better health facilities.

I believe these children who attended the road side rally of this anti-corruption caravan will have a better future if their parents vote able candidates rather than sell their democratic rights and integrity cheaply to greedy politicians.
