   Politicians have been challenged to make their manifestos public to enable voters make wise decisions basing on what each party stand for in the forthcoming General Election.

   

   Speaking in Kisumu City during a Mass Service at St Joseph Catholic Church Milimani, Archbishop Zacheus Okoth said policies of every political party will enable Kenyans to participate in a democratic manner when electing leaders of their choice rather than those with vested interest.
   
   “Every party should give out there manifesto so that when they are elected Kenyans are able to hold them accountable for not delivering their promises,” says Okoth.
   
   He also urged those who have attained18 years to obtain the National Identification cards (IDs) and register as voters to have an opportunity in electing leaders who will address their plight.
   
   The bishop further appealed to Christians to pray and preach peace during and after elections to avoid a repeat of the post election violence witnessed in the country in 2007/2008 that saw over 1,000 people dead and more than 250,000 displaced from their homes.
   
   He however told Kisumu residents to welcome every politician who wants to sell their policies instead of heckling at them urging them to listen and make wise decision come March 4, 2013.
   
   “If they bring money let us not be swayed by the money but elect leaders on the basis of their agenda, development records and policies they stand for,” he said.
   
   Okoth challenged politicians to address the plight of the youth saying the biggest problem they have was lack of jobs rather than using them to fight their political wars.
   
   “Youths should not be used in throwing stones or burning tyres on the streets sending away people we don’t want. They should not be slashing people with pangas,” he said warning youths to stop involving themselves in illegal groups like American marine and China squad.

   You may obtain these things through the Internet, therefore you can post your discount north face jackets online. Some say that North Face Backpacks are pricey. Perfectly, it might appear highly-priced because of its north face jackets on sale and top quality. However, you will be surprised if you purchase a single because it will definitely be affordable.
