    "content": "practically impossible to talk of being a leader and the President of the Republic of Kenya when you know very well that over three quarters of the country has issues with the legitimacy in the office. I sincerely want to tell everybody who cares to know that the election of 26th October 2017 is just a dream. It will not happen. Even if it happens, it will produce a president who has no legitimacy and, indeed, as the former Chief Justice said, the drums are ringing in this country. Those of us who refuse to hear the drums are generally the enemy number one of the people of Kenya. The right to picket is enshrined in Article 37 of the Constitution and no one anywhere has a right to deny the people of Kenya to express their dissatisfaction and their displeasure over many issues happening in this country. We will continue to demonstrate and I feel happy when people say the demonstrations are only in Nairobi and Kisumu. Of course, it is good to say what suits your heart. You have seen there were demonstrations in Lamu. There have been demonstrations in Vihiga, Busia, Kakamega and all over. I can assure you that from Monday next week, you will see a bigger crowd turning out to express their dissatisfaction. I call upon my colleagues on the other side to truly be leaders and as leaders, you must listen to your heart, brain and soul and put the interest of this country as priority number one beyond, probably, your blind support for your leaders. Everybody knows that the IEBC bungled the elections. We cannot purport to go to the election with the same infrastructure and structure in place because, obviously, the results will be the same. Fifty-four per cent has already been fixed in the computer and the rest will be distributed amongst the other candidates. Rest assured we have not seen the end of this story. The stories are many. I think as a country we have so many problems which are self-inflicted and largely contributed and began by the Jubilee Government. We had hoped that the independent bodies like the IEBC will be independent enough and allow us to solve these problems once and for all. The many months the nurses have been on strike---"
