Country needs mature politicians

Too often we are witnessing childish behaviour by our leaders.

There always seems to be contention between the Government and the Opposition on the passing of legislation.

When will our politicians realise that the greater interest should be country over party? Our future is at stake.

I want to plead with our leaders to put their differences aside and work together for the greater good of the citizenry.

Let our children and grandchildren see the politicians uniting for the purpose of moving our country forward. For our country to move from Third World to First World, we will need mature minds, starting with our leaders.

This year is very crucial as far as legislation is concerned in dealing with the myriad of issues we face, such as: kidnappings, murders, abuse, corruption, gang warfare, lack of proper representation in local government etc.

Legislation is key in dealing with these issues.

I am hopeful our leaders will wake up to the reality that a house divided against itself cannot stand.
