By Isabella Maua
With 19 days to the set election date, Silas Cheren aka Waziri wa Michezo who’s vying for the Mt. Elgon parliamentary seat has assured the area residents that he is the only medicine to the ailing society.
Speaking during a public forum at Kapkisei and Kabukwo areas of Chepyuk, Cheren said that former legislators have been using people’s problems as campaigning tools but never deliver once they get to parliament.
“Lack of clean piped water has been used as a campaign tool since the regime of our first MP till the current one, I will start a bottled water firm to cater for the needs of all Mt. Elgon residents regardless of their tribes or religion,” Cheren reiterated.
In matters politics, Waziri tabled his main agenda as nurturing young talent, promoting talents and creating job opportunities.
He further challenged voters to gauge aspirants as per their proven records and not just the manifestos they showcase.
“I have a clean record and it is obvious by the name I was given ‘Waziri’ that many have tasted my fruits; I’ve so far distributed 8 pairs of jerseys to teams across all wards in Mt.Elgon and so far taken more than 8 girls and boys to Brazil and Turkey through volleyball,” Cheren revealed.
Also speaking in a different forum at Toiwondet – Kapkateny, the accountant come politician recalled that he tactically escaped the UDA party primaries trap by opting to be an independent candidate.
“Politics is a game of brains and calculations and I knew the nominations were going to be a charade just as it turned out,” Cheren acknowledged.
He on the other hand mentioned that he is confident of winning the hotly contested seat because as compared to his competitors he is beyond shadow of doubt a force to reckon with.
“Being the flag bearer of change in this constituency, I’m devoted to send Kapondi home but only if you come out in large masses and vote for me on August 9,”the principal reiterated.
Conclusively, Waziri promised to halt corruption during recruitment of military forces and stated he’ll personally be present at the venue where the process will be conducted to oversee a free and fair selection where not a single cent will be given or received by anyone.
“Besides following up on students who haven’t been awarded their KCSE certificates , I’ll insure university students get enough money to cater for their needs in the current economic state,” Cheren stated.
