President Uhuru Kenyatta waves to residents when he arrived in Turkana County, July 10, 2017. [Photo|PSCU]President Uhuru Kenyatta has warned the Opposition that they are free not to participate in the August 8 polls, but they cannot sabotage it. He asked them to wait for the 2022 elections if they feel they are not ready for the 2017 general election instead of using Court cases to undermine the process. “They should stop playing with the minds of Kenyans. If they are not ready for the polls, let them step aside and allow those who want to participate to do so instead of trying to sabotage the process. Kenyans are ready to go to the polls on August 8 and no one will deny them that right,” he said. Kenyatta, who was on the campaign trail in Turkana County, was speaking in Lodwar town where he addressed a rally. He said if he wanted to be vexatious he would have used the courts to argue that he has served for only four and a half years instead of a full five-year term. “But that does not support the spirit of the Constitution. The opposition leaders who are pricing themselves as democrats should know that,” he said. Accompanied by his Deputy William Ruto and other Jubilee leaders from the county, Uhuru said it would not be fair to Kenyans for the opposition to scuttle the August polls in the quest of advancing their selfish personal interests.
