    "content": "long that they are very confused and they think it is PhD. They have a problem to an extent that they have been literally killing each other and shooting each other unnecessarily with people who have been very supportive of them. I feel very sorry for what my brother underwent in Migori. As we go for recess, it is important for all of us to know that Kenyans will have to make a choice on who they want in the ballot come 8th August, so that people can go preach peace and stop misusing the youths. I am telling all the youth in our beloved country Kenya that politicians are users. Politicians will use them by making them drunk and fight. They will also use the youth to cause chaos in people’s rallies. It is unnecessary. It is unnecessary because at the end of the day, come August 8, you will be electing Hon. Members, the President, Governors, Senators and MCAs. But at the end of it all, it is those people you are giving jobs. As you give them some work, it is important for our youth and the electorate to know that as we make people fight, our children are not there. We usually keep our children in safe custody, and we are going to raise tension in this country unnecessarily. I am asking all my colleagues to desist from that habit. It is very unfair to use other people’s children and yours are in safe custody in your homes. Most of the times even as we go to rural areas, we usually leave them in Nairobi or in big towns where we work and keep them in safe custody. I am asking all my colleagues that as we go there we preach peace and work together as a team because Kenya is one. Kenya is more important than all of us. We need to make sure that the elections this year are peaceful. But from the look of it, I have seen a tendency of women being mistreated, especially in ODM. It is wrong. Women must be given a chance. You cannot be preaching about gender equality or gender sensitivity when at the same time you are locking out eligible women from standing for important seats at the constituency level. How do we realise the one-third gender rule? I beg my colleagues to talk with one voice of peace for Kenyans and peaceful elections this year. I also want to mention that people do not need to worry. You cannot be a sculptor and come up with an idea of sculpting votes."
