    "content": "he is not alone. Many of this country’s citizens are not sleeping well because of the uncertainty that is all over the place because of the politics in this country. We need to go back to our constituencies to reassure our people that nothing bad is going to happen. I told the engineer that on October 26th we will go back to the ballot and cast our votes, so that the winner of the election can be announced. Thereafter, we will move on. It is important that we go out there to reassure our people that nobody will ruin the country that we love so much. The good people of Kenya want to move on. They are tired of the drama that we are giving them. The national examinations will be taking place within this same period. The teachers are struggling; businesses, and the economy in general, have slowed down. It is about time we went back to our constituencies and assured Kenyans that there is life after politics and guide them on how to go to an election without violence. We must encourage then to believe in themselves; that, if you do not start the violence, there is not going to be any violence. I will be leading the good people of Mbeere South in making sure that we have a free and fair election. I will encourage them to turn out in large numbers and vote. I also want to throw in a few words. There is a community in Mbeere South, Makima Area whose members live on land designated for the Tana and Athi River Development Authority (TARDA). They are about 1,000 people and they have been given notice to move out of that land. This is the time when people prepare land for planting. It is wrong to throw families out at this time. I appeal to the Government and the management of TARDA to resolve this issue through dialogue. I am ready to lead the dialogue and save the people from eviction. There are those who are hell bent on causing spontaneous violence. Many times, it is not spontaneous. Somebody causes and fuels the violence so that they can have their way without necessarily having to work. As a Christian, I would like to assure them that many Christians in this country believe there is a God in heaven, who is looking down upon us and he will not let this country go to the dogs. I urge the good people of Kenya to continue praying and come out in large numbers on 26th October, 2017 to vote and their choice will count. I support."
