    "content": "He also talked about deepening democracy. We know how the democratic space that is there today came about. It came about because of the push of Kenyans. Democracy had gone to the dogs. We cannot argue and talk about deepening democracy today when State‘s security apparatus are threatening that should elections be rigged and people complain and go to the streets, they will be arrested. If that is the kind of democracy that we are told about, then we can only say that we are not talking the truth. We are lying to Kenyans and the President needs to tame his security apparatus from threatening people against demonstrating, which is enshrined in the Constitution after the elections should they sense that their victory has been denied, that they will not be allowed to do so by the security apparatus. That is not the security we are talking about. Let the Government set right procedures. Let elections be done under tight watchdogs like the IEBC and let the results be genuine. No Kenyan will go to the streets to demonstrate."
