I pledge never to vote/support any leader just because he/she is my tribe or clan. I pledge to vote for a leader who is not corrupt or perceived to be corrupt. I pledge to vote for a leader who is honest, selfless and visionary. I pledge to vote for the leader who meets these credentials EVEN IF he/she is not popular with my fellow Kenyans, for these is my solemn duty to my motherland.

Sounds so nice and dandy!

Problem is - no such a person is likely to be in the race.
In such a case would you consider offering yourself to run for office!
If so do you stand any REALISTIC chance of getting anywhere!
I dont mean to pour cold water on your newfound pledge, but calling your attention to pragmatism.

Another approach might be;

Of those on the ballot pax, I will vote for the fellow who comes closest to my ideals!

But do vote anyway, as failing to vote wont help advance your dream and vision on your motherland-
As they say, bad leaders get to office because many good people fail to go and vote them out.

Let's vote.Let's not lose hope.Democracy and good governance don't come in a day.
What a wicked man I am!The things I want to do,I don't do.The things I don't want to do I find myself doing

@ B.Timer, I hope some candidate will have these qualities. Nevertheless, i wish they would have an option to choose " none of the above". I am not planning not to vote. I dont want to whine yet i fail in my duty.

Irresponsible citizen.
The rich have money working for them; the poor and the middle class are going to work for money.
