Speaking further, Capt.

The hopeful further advised youths and the general public to collect money from politicians who might brandish them with gifts and money for the idea of buying their conscience, and urged them never to be bought, but should vote their conscience and the people that can deliver in governance.
“Accord Party is like David, while others are Goliath. The problems facing the State and Nation now will be more turbulent as we approach 2015, but will cease post 2015”. Capt Mbamara concluded.
