President Uhuru Kenyatta has revealed how Jubilee could have rigged elections if they were interested.
Speaking on Sunday in Baringo, Uhuru said that his regime could have taken advantage of the fact that he has served for only four years.
The Head of State said Kenyans will go to the polls on August 8 whether the opposition is ready or not and despite the constant threats of violence from leading opposition figures.
He assured Kenyans that the elections will be free and fair and that the Government will ensure they take place in a peaceful environment.
The Head of State said that instead of demanding to serve for five years, he chose to ensure that democracy prevails at all times.
“This is the first government that is serving a term that is less than five years. If we wanted to rig elections we would have started by demanding that we serve five years but we have accepted that because we want democracy to prevail,” said the President.
He added that the country will head into the polls as planned despite court battles between IEBC and the opposition.
