President Uhuru Vows to Sign Proposed Election Bill into Law
President Uhuru Kenyatta has vowed to sign the proposed election bill into law if Parliament passes it.
Speaking during a campaign tour in Kilifi County on Tuesday, the Head of State said he would not hesitate to assent to the bill, saying that it addresses most of the issues raised by Nasa and the Supreme Court.
“I have no problem with that law and if Parliament passes (the bills), I will sign, I don’t have any problem with it because it contains contentious issues raised by the opposition,” he said.
Uhuru said that the Jubilee government had not sidelined the coast region, adding that he will serve all Kenyans, regardless of who they vote for.
“I know even the person who voted for the opposition is a Kenyan, who is looking for a President to deliver. I will definitely do that and the flagship projects currently undertaken by my administration will not be abandoned,” he said.
Deputy President William Ruto thanked residents for the over 50,000 votes they got in the cancelled August election.
“We know that you participated in a constitutional exercise and the results you gave us is what you managed to give. We are not bitter. We are all Kenyans and the Kilifi people are part of Jubilee government. We will not abandon you,” the DP said.
Former Kilifi North MP, Gideon Mung’aro, who unsuccessfully contested for Kilifi governor seat called on residents to vote for President Kenyatta in the fresh elections.

Yes, it must be signed into law. We cannot allow criminals in NASA to continue raping Kenya. While some will argue it is a short-term fix, it can be amended again in later years when need arises. But NASA and the principal traitors must be stopped at all costs. No ifs and no buts.

Uhuru: Your legacy in Kenyan history will be that, you returned our democratic nation of Kenya back into dictatorship. You brought back the sad days of your father and his follower's oppressive regimes. You refused to honor the struggles of our second liberators of Kenya and all the tortures that they endured under your father and his follower. SAD!

Anything that is signed into law is not set in stone.There is something called a Judiciary but your kamwana thinks he owns that too.Jubilee really must invest in acquiring competent legal help. Raila just threw you a curve ball and here you are being so naive that he conceded defeat. Some people or situations are beyond help and we as NASA should just let sleeping dogs lie.
