    "content": "If every five years‟ toxic a political climate and election-time tensions would reverse the gains painfully secured, our impressive development record of accomplishment would be an immense tower sadly built on sand but not rock. For the record, political stabilisation is not an end in itself. It is a continuous process that every administration, even those that come after me, must apply their minds to and secure. Let me explain: Next month we will be celebrating 30 years of political pluralism gained following the reintroduction of multi-party politics through the repeal of Section 2A of the former Constitution on 10th December, 1991. From the Mlolongo Voting System of the KANU era to our vibrant democracy today, we must celebrate the journey we have taken and the expanded fields of freedoms we enjoy. While undoubtedly multi-party politics have been a much better democratic platform than the single- party state, we must not ignore the very real negative aspects of our politics and electioneering. The evidence of this is plainly observable in the elections of 1992, 1997, 2007, 2013 and 2017. It is only in 2002, when yours truly surrendered easily, that we did not have a problem."
