"content": "The truth is, if you go to the history of the people of Turkana, Kalenjin, Luo and Kikuyu, the old traditional system of democracy of African system had a proper way of debating and allowed everybody to speak. Decisions were made based on consensus, there was an appreciation of equity and everybody was given a chance. Those of us who have read Nelson Mandela’s book, The Long Walk to Freedom, will find a proper description of what used to happen among the Xhosa people which also happened in many communities in this country. We must appreciate that now under this new order, we have a system that separates and distributes power and gives it as a responsibility to those who have been elected to carry them out."
