In Mandera South, we have sent a strong signal to all and sundry that no entity in our democratic system of governance is powerful enough to thwart the will of the people, despite the attempt by a section of leaders from my home county, Mandera to sabotage popular governance and replace it with a retrogressive form of governance called negotiated democracy that subverts and kills democracy. The great people of Mandera South stood up and voted for a leader of their choice. I salute their steadfastness, courage, allegiance, commitment and fierce determination to defend their sovereign rights."}
