Chose Me One Cry
By Otieno Obunga
Choose Me One Cry is a cry of an electorate
abandoned after being used during election.
This abandonment can either be physical as
seen when elected officials abandon the
electorates to serve the interest of their own,
parties or party chiefs, intellectual; in the case
of mediocre representation, or resources;
manifestable in lack of economic creativity. |
