Changamwe Member of Parliament Omar Mwinyi has cautioned electorates against participating in an election without making proper political decisions in the August 9 polls.

Mwinyi said electorates should not vent their anger into the ballot, just because their candidates have lost in the nomination process, saying such decisions may end up putting into office leaders who are not fit for leadership.

 “I know we have a lot of anger, some might be having anger with the current leadership, how nominations went, and they would want to use anger in making decisions especially when voting. I want to urge them to use wisdom, and consult together because what is important is to have good leaders in Mombasa,” said Mwinyi.

At the same time Mwinyi announced that he will consult his constituents about which path they will walk together in quest to elect a suitable Mombasa governor.

“Here in Changamwe we will sit down and consult and see what direction we will take because if we are carried away by a certain political wave we may end up losing five years in bad leadership, “cautioned Mwinyi.

The legislator extended an olive branch to his opponents who lost in the just concluded Orange Democratic Party ODM party primaries.

Mwinyi who was handed a direct ODM ticket to seek re-election in the Changamwe seat said he is ready to partner with his opponents to deliver development to his constituents. Mwinyi was locked into a tough contest against Juma Goshi for the party ticket.

He asked politicians who lost in the just concluded party primaries to put aside their differences and join the winners in steering their respective political positions to another level.

Mwinyi was speaking in Changamwe during a bursary cheques disbursement exercise to needy students in Changamwe joining secondary school, Universities and colleges.

Over 7,000 students benefited from the bursary amounting to over 40 million.

“Let’s put our heads together and work together so that we can have good leaders elected to steer Mombasa leadership.” cautioned Mwinyi.

The Mp pledged to continue elevating the education levels in Changamwe so as the region can realize the fruits of education in future. Among those sponsored are those from poor backgrounds.

Speaking at the function, Changamwe sub county commissioner Tom Konyelo challenged political leaders to ensure 100 percent transition in both private and public by helping the needy with bur series.

“We have had a challenge of 100 percent transition policy, and this gesture of issuance of bursary is a good move to support the school enrolments in Changamwe and ensure the transition is fully achieved,” said Konyelo.

On his part Chondo Isaac, organizing secretary of private schools challenged other leaders to emulate the gesture of giving school bursaries so that poor learners can access education.

“We are glad to see private institutions being among those getting bursaries, we are very happy and as private schools we will stand with those who support our issues,” said Chondo.
