President Uhuru Leads 5,000 Mt. Kenya Leaders in Making the "Sagana Declaration"
President Uhuru Kenyatta has vowed that the repeat presidential election will be held as scheduled and attempts to derail it will be resisted.
Speaking when he met leaders from the greater Mount Kenya region as Sagana State Lodge, Uhuru led the leaders in making what they termed as the 'Sagana Declaration", where they demanded that the electoral commission must deliver the elections within the stipulated 60 days.
The head of state maintained that they were ready for the repeat presidential elections and would not accept any date another date, other than 17th October as the opposition seems to suggest.
"We don't have a quarrel with anyone. We want the will of the people to prevail and that is on the ballot. We want that within 60 days," he said.
" Mkipita hapo na mkianza kutupea stori mjue mmepita line na hiyo
hatutakubali.... (If you [IEBC] delay past that date and give excuses we shall not accept)" Uhuru proclaimed.
He then proceeded to lead the more than 5,000 leaders from 10 counties to make the declaration.
" Mnakubaliana na mimi tutoe hiyo declaration ya hapa Sagana (Do you all agree with me we make a declaration here in Sagana?)
“It is the will of the people that shall prevail. That is our declaration from Sagana,” he affirmed as the leaders raised their hands in agreement.
President Kenyatta said Nasa was attempting to derail the election "but their efforts would be thwarted by the Jubilee Party, as well as all Kenyans of goodwill who believe in the rule of law".
“We are the majority, but do not mistake the silence of the majority for weakness. The independent body (IEBC) should deliver an election. We will accept the verdict of the people,” Uhuru stated.
The Head of State reiterated that he won the August 8th poll but was robbed by the Supreme Court, which declared the election invalid, null and void.
“We looked for votes and we won, but the victory was stolen from us. This time we will win with more votes,” he stated.
He calles on the opposition to respect the independence of the IEBC so that it can deliver the fresh election.

Even NASA voters by a margin of 84% agree that elections should happen on October 17. We, Kenyans yearn for peace. NASA voters are Kenyans and they want peace. Let those after violence pursue it at their homesteads and not in public places where they can be a nuisance. In my view, the actions of NASA leaders amounts to treason.

NASA also wants Peace but most of all they WANT a FREE AND CREDIBLE election process.Uhuru is not even sorry he got cauight stealing but is busy pledging that the election WILL go on as scheduled and NASA refuses to have more of the same. NASA too is the will of the people and Uhuru should stop this bull shit of Jubilee is the majority. Who is he kidding why launch this manifesto in central Kenya not Nairobi or even Rift valley.Yes the economy is suffering but the people will suffer more when leaders impose themselves on us and then hoodwink us in stating that it was a free and fair election because the international observers said so or because people voted when we know it matters more on who is counting the votes and not who voted

The Corrupt IEBC should not be allowed to hold any election in Kenya. How can you allow a pilot who just crashed an aeroplane and was the only survivor fly another new aircraft?
Kenyans, don't allow wolves and hyenas determine the future of Kenya. How can you trust hyenas and wolves look after your sheep?
All patriotic Kenyans must come together to get rid of the corrupt IEBC! Just imagine, they cleared Maina Njenga a leader of the Kenyan terrorist organization well known as " Mungiki " run for an elective public office.
We are sick and tired of being taken for granted by criminals posing as leaders! Enough is enough.
