President Uhuru Kenyatta has threatened that his peace-loving nature should not be taken for granted.
Speaking at State House in Nairobi during a meeting with elected Jubilee governors and MCAs, Uhuru said that though he is a peaceful Kenyan, he is neither a coward nor a Bishop of the church.
“We are law abiding people and want peace but that should not be misconstrued to mean we are fools or cowards. To say that I am peaceful doesn’t mean that I am a Bishop,” he said.
He announced that his team had officially begun their second round of campaigns just after the nullification of his earlier victory by the Supreme Court.
“What we want is the supreme will of the people of Kenya to prevail. And as I have said before, the Opposition are not interested in the election but a back door route for a nusu mkate (coalition) Government. There is no nusu mkate for them, even a slice they won’t get. If they want let them win elections.”
Together with DP William Ruto, the Jubilee leadership disclosed that his campaign machinery is in good shape and that they are prepared to seek the vote again from wananchi to prove they won fairly in the August 8 election.
“We won fair and square. We got 800 elected MCAs (56 per cent) out of 1,400, 27 Senators (58 per cent), 169 MPs (59 per cent), 29 governors (62 per cent), 31 women reps (66 per cent),” said DP William Ruto.
“They went and planned with their people in court thinking we will fear them, and today we telling them we fear God alone and the decision of the people of Kenya,” said President Uhuru.
