    "content": "happening. Let me say it here. Do you think if you have more than 100 per cent voters casting votes at a polling station, we will agree? No, I can assure you that we will not agree. You will have to charge very many people. If you threaten to charge people who will not agree with election results that show clearly what transpired at a polling station, then the police will arrest and charge in court very many people. However, that is not the democracy we are looking for. It is not that we enjoy seeing people being arrested or charged in court. We do not want something like that to happen. We do not want to see a situation like the 2007/2008 post-election violence repeated in this country. People were killed. Even in my own County of Bungoma, many people were killed. We received IDPs. They were pursued from other places and killed in my county. Those people have not even recovered. People lost millions of shillings worth of properties. Some of the displaced people have not been compensated. They are still lying desperately in many parts of this country. Even if you go out of this country, you will notice that Kenyans are very tribal. Kenyans hate each other on the basis of tribe. You are known to be Kikuyu, Luhya and other tribe arising from the way you conduct your affairs. Tribalism has portrayed us, as a country, in very bad light regionally and internationally. We have a responsibility to restore our lost glory. We can only do that if we conduct our general elections in the best way possible. The IEBC will not allow manual transmission. It is one of the major recommendations in the Kriegler Report. There has to be proper Biometric Voter Registration (BVR) and electronic transmission of results based on the outcome of the voting. The IEBC should not allow people to do it manually and make phone calls. We need to ensure that we give the IEBC a chance to conduct the election properly. With those few remarks, I thank you. But we will not say “Yes” if the election is stolen."
