Nowadays many politicians have moved away from the old-fashioned manifestos they used to craft. They have adopted new ones which seem to be so sweet to Kenyans’ minds and ears.
The newly invented manifestos by politicians sound great! They are acceptable by many – because, in one way or the other, they are directly touching on Kenyan lives and seem to be the best solution to their problems.
However good the manifestos are to citizens, very few are fulfilled – or even none at times. The sweet contents of the manifestos are usually a mere trap to get the attention of the public and attract more voters.
Many of these manifestos have become very difficult and impossible to implement since independence. This is simply because our country is not financially stable to achieve them. Politicians need to come up with realistic manifestos – the ones that are implementable.
Manifestos are not bad, but for sure the ultimate numbers of our leaders are incompetent. So even if they are popularizing their manifestos, they lack competency and leadership skills that will enable them to work effectively while implementing them.

When you use your third eye, it is easy to observe and see how these politicians have hidden agendas while campaigning. They hide their greediness in the manifestos, they don’t mean what they say.
Lastly, they know very well the emerging issues affecting Kenyans, so this gives them an incentive to creativity where politicians create manifestos from these issues.
Now, here is where Kenyans think they mind their problems. No! I say these manifestos are far from fulfillment and implementation.
