take note...
With an estimated readership of close to 500,000 loyal readership in Nyandarua and Laikipia Counties every week, The Home News will start running profiles of young people from the respective counties who silently influence the politics and general everyday lives in their home areas even when they live in Nairobi and other big towns.
You find some of these educated young men and women paying school fees for needy students in their villages, buying food for the aged, motivating the youth, advising schools boards of governors, attending harambees, funerals, weddings and other social functions, and particularly travelling home to participate in General Elections whenever time is due.
Some try in vain to penetrate local development agenda with the view of contributing ideas or finances, owing to kind-of red tape created by some politicians who surround themselves with their own boot-lickers and bouncers apparently with instructions to keep 'nosy outsiders' off. This attitude has been a bottleneck to the progress of parts of the regions in question - if not all - over the years, because some elected leaders seem to follow in the footsteps of their predecessors.
However, all seem to be now saying 'enough is enough' to old-fashioned styles of leadership. Not necessarily with the intention of going for political seats, but to go full throttle in seizing every opportunity to sensitize the local electorate about their rights as stakeholders in every community project may it be financed through the Local Authority Transfer Fund (LATF), CDF of other funds. The days of leaders who do not deliver in these regions, could therefore be numbered. Those who do will leave a legacy for the posterity.
All those who feel they qualify for these exclusive profiles are free to contact the Managing Editor on 0722 - 689968. Don’t miss the first part, focusing on Ndaragwa, in the next issue.
