    "content": "One Kenya Alliance and Kenya Kwanza, which we used to call “ Tanga Tanga”, all supported us. Kenyans should see that we do not need war because of elections. We should not have people fighting out there in Kenya because they support different presidential candidates. We are together here in the leadership of the House. I went through this difficult time when my husband passed on and all of you supported me. Therefore, I really thank you, and I hope Kenyans can take that. We know that elections come and go. We are Kenyans and friends. We should not fight because you do not support the presidential candidate that I support. Kenya is one and much more important than any one person. Kenya is our country. We will not have another country. We should not burn it with passion. I believe it will be peaceful because so far, it is going on well. I urge our people not to have any division even after elections or announcement of election results. Nothing should divide the people or call them out for anything. Let us keep Kenya safe and peaceful the way it has been because we are like an island of peace. We know that our neighbors have been in turmoil but God has blessed us, Kenyans, with peace. Let us maintain that peace. Young people, we keep on saying you are leaders of tomorrow. However, you are leaders of today because tomorrow is today. We decide today what tomorrow will be. Think of the country. The young people should not be used for mischief or to organize rowdy behaviour when somebody else you do not like comes to campaign in your area. When out there, welcome everybody and listen to them, then make your decision. Do not fight your friend just because he supports somebody else. That is democracy. If we want Kenya to remain democratic, then we must give space for differences when it comes to politics but not to fight. When you go back to Kitui, convey our greetings especially to the Governor and the leadership. I thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, for this opportunity."
