The political temperatures are high across the country, at all times lets preach peace. Politicians aspiring for elective positions should be at the frontline to champion peace in their campaigns as well as the relevant government units. Elections will come and pass but our country Kenya shall remain
I appreciate the interior cabinet secretary’s statement “expect no poll violence” to investors while addressing the Accountants Conference in Mombasa yesterday. It’s an utterance that every kenyan should demand at all times at this time. Considering the fact that our country is recuperating from the COVID-19 scores national peace and security carries alot of meaning as well as the country’s high cost of living at the moment.
It’s a democratic right of every Kenyan to support a politician or coalition that he/she finds good for him or her and that they believe it can transform their lives as well as the country’s overall current ailing economy. It’s important to note this because this is where the questions and concerns causing violence arise.
Voting is a democratic right a person not a favour or something to burgain about, individual choice is paramount in voting.
We have elections to better our country not to destroy our. Violence is not the answer to problems, before you think of throwing a stone to your fellow kenyan you have been living with for the last four years, just because of different political affiliation remember the painful economy you are going through, your brother, mother, sister or your child could go through the same in the strange land they are. Let’s welcome all politicians to campaign in any part of the country, listen to their manifesto but the choice is yours at the ballot come 9th August. Say no to political violence, peace first.
