    "content": "The President and Prime Minister take pride in our respect of the principle of fairness and tolerance and that must continue. The Government will also ensure that voting for the referendum will be free, fair and peaceful. At least two police officers will be assigned per polling stream in all polling stations. Additional security officers will be availed to ensure that all environments of the polling stations are safe and free of trouble makers. Adequate security will be provided to constituency and regional election co- ordinators as well as other officials, including clerks. All Kenyans of voting age know how a Government behaves when it wants to crack or frustrate the opposition. We have all seen it before. We saw the crackdown on the Opposition in the run to the 1992, 1997 and even 2002 elections. Ministers lost their jobs, the Provincial Administration were warned to toe the line; opposition rallies were cancelled and tear gassed, while MPs were thrown into cells. This Government is not going to go down that road."
