In the last General elections and the by-elections that followed the people of the constituencies have spelt it out to the ruling coalitions/political parties. Many political observers are putting their necks on the chopping blocks and are pretty sure that “only thosehardworking,reliable and truthful” present MPs stand a chance of winning or retaining the seats.
The 3 criterias are what the people want and not only paper certificates. A rural voter from Mas Gading P192 on the same breakfast table interjected and said,”We need politicians who can serve , not shout and promise. We have given them chances and enough of FALSE PROMISES politicians“ Is he sending out a signal..?
The group unanimously agreed on the statement of truthful,hardworking and reliable.They clarified by pointing it out…..
When the people say ‘truthful-it means those who fail to deliver their promises might just forget it. The world is globalised,technological advances and most computers are just a touch away. Those who daydreams to be given a second chance might just want to prepare for their PENSION.”
When the people say “reliable-it means those who never say NO and are seen working on the constituency during the weekends and even are available on WEEKDAYS when the constituency committees requests their presence. {Excusable though if they send representatives when they are caught up on official functions. }
When the people say hardworking- it means that they must be seen hardworking for their constituency and not hardworking to “fill up their own” pockets. Its not a passport for them to enrich themselves.
The people will decide and the political parties need to listen to the ground level and go through a very thorough process to ensure their candidates will stand a chance to be voted in. The GE13 will be soon as many predicted some even put it as 11/11/11 which according to numerologists is a very good day for polling date.
