    "content": "That is a lesson because we should have been able to detect what was to happen in case the elections were stolen, rigged or if a dispute arose. So, I think the planners or those who were in control were partly to blame for what happened. That is because a lot could have been saved. When the violence started, quick action could have been taken before it spread. That could have prevented a lot of property from being destroyed. It could have prevented lives being lost and things could have come under control within a very short time. The main dispute was the results of the election and if they could not be verified by Waki in his Report, then something must have happened. If they were rigged, then those who did so must have planned to do that. So, if there was any rigging, it was planned. Just before the elections, I saw leaflets being circulated. Some were saying that power would not be handed over; I read them but I ignored them. I did not take them seriously. The leaflets were some of the things that caused tension; when people read them, there was tension. Also the speeches made during the campaigns brought bad blood among communities."
