Weka yeye ndani until after elections
It is not incitement it is called standing up for your rights and refusing to be bullied in your own home.People have a right to refuse to vote.A sham election will be conducted in Jubilee zones only .Wacha wajichague, wajihesabu na wajitawale.Kenya belongs to 42 legit tribes but Uhuru can have the Makondés and wahindi when he forms KCA.
Yes, but don't infringe on those who want to vote
Uhuru and Ruto: You have embarrassed our country ENOUGH with your dictatorial tendencies and taking us back to the sad days of the Nyayo era. Those were the days of darkness and death! Your legacy will be that, when you were unable to lead the wise people of Kenya, you resorted to intimidation, unnecessary arrests, and the undermining their rights to exercise their " freedom of speech."
We know that both of you vehemently opposed our current constitution! You are slowly shredding our constitution the way Kenyatta and Toroitich did which they turned our nation into a police state! For goodness sake, in case you think the people of Kenya have forgotten, we know what Toroitich did in Kasarani! He refused to endorse his two former vice presidents (Mwai and Saitoti) to run for the presidency of Kenya when he was outwitted by the people of Kenya of the second liberation and then picked Uhuru after the wise people of Gatundu had turned him down.
Uhuru and Ruto are not fit to run Kenya! Uhuru himself has openly admitted that he is totally unable to tame the corruption which tops all the corruption that took place during his short administrative more than the three previous presidents combined!
I would like to remind you in case you have forgotten what is democracy basically means,
"the government of the PEOPLE by the PEOPLE for the PEOPLE." You form of government could be best described as " the government of the corrupt elites by the corrupt elites, for the corrupt Kalenjin and Kikuyu people."
If you two cannot tolerate any form of criticisms, just resign and go back to the job that you did when Toroitich rescued you from "no where."
Unless, public speech involves violence, let the people of Kenya enjoy democracy the way it was intended. After all, you two are employees of the people. We pay your salaries. You are not our bosses but our servants. If you cannot accept it, for goodness sake resign and leave our beautiful Kenya alone.
