    "content": "should thank them for doing a good job. This country held peaceful elections because of their work. However, we need to enhance the mandate of the Commission and facilitate them by enabling them to move around the country, so that they can consult with various community leaders and unite the country. They should embark on a program of making Kenya a one community nation like they have done in Tanzania. Maybe they should promote the usage of Kiswahili in the entire country, so that whenever we are attending official functions, we can use one language. If they achieve that, we will not have the situation like the one I saw yesterday on television where a Member of Parliament - I am not afraid to mention his name, it was Hon. Ichung’wah - stated that Hon. Arati and Mr. Matiang’i come from the same village simply because they come from the same community. He degraded our community of more than four million people to a village. We are waiting to see whether somebody will come to look for votes in that village. A village is too small. Such utterances should not be made with this new Commission in place. We saw what happened in Kibra. Given our Kenyan standards, there was no violence there. That shows the work which the outgoing Commission has done for this country. Now that we are installing a new Commission, we know they will do even better, so that by the time we get to 2022, when my opponent loses, he or she will give me a hug and say: “You have won. Continue with the work of our people”."
