But I also believe that it is possible to expand the possibilities of what an MP can do. For a start, changing the concept of citizenship in the constituency – getting people to see that it is within their ability to change the course of their fortunes, to appreciate the limits of outside “agency” to transform their lives, and to act and live in a manner that recognizes that the existence of a community does not require resources other than the willingness to be honest with voters.
Kama kazi ya vyama vya upinzani ni kupinga tu, na hakuna será mbadala, hakuna itikadi mbadala, hakuna hazina ya viongozi ambao watu wakiwatazama, na wakitazama historia yao, wanaona kweli wanaweza kushika madaraka ya nchi, basi sioni kama vinaweza kunawiri. Vilevile, nashangazwa sana kusikia ugomvi kwenye vyama vya upinzani kila siku baina ya viongozi.
