The Kenya Kwanza brigade claimed to have strategized on
different aspects as a way of mitigating cases that would polarize the
effectiveness of the incoming General elections.
Kenya Kwanza team believes that they will form the
next government after the August 9 election,
They called upon their opponents to start drawing their
mentality into the opposition box.

The Kenya Kwanza Presidential Candidate William Ruto has
appeared enthusiastically on the concept of the Independent Electoral and
Boundaries Commission (IEBC) having almost a million registered names missing
in their register.
Ruto however spells out clearly that the plan is set to
undermine his political ambitions of winning the presidential seat in the
August 9 poll.
Following the European Union (EU) meeting held at Ruto’s
residence in Karen, the Deputy President cited that IEBC might have a secret
plan of depriving him of an opportunity to showcase his ability in politics.
“We expect everybody who is concerned with the election
processes and preparation more so the EU and partners to try and get as many
details as possible. Both from the IEBC and from the public officials on why
others chest thump themselves thinking they own system and deep state including
the case of close to a million registered voters disappeared from the register.
Many of those names are people from what we consider our strongholds. It is a
clear attempt that the IEBC tries some monkey games,” said Mr Ruto.
The DP however said that his opponents have no room to
win the election only if the process will be held comprehensively and
responsibly as contemplated in the Kenyan constitution.
“We don’t believe that they will succeed (referring to
his opponent Azimio) but this attempts source of concern to Kenyans,” added Mr
Ruto.

Bungoma County senator Moses Wetan’ula added that the
election process is an activity that needs proper articulation to the various
levels where the election process is accommodated.
“The elections are not judged free and fair on the basis
of the conduct on the day of voting. It is the entire process of integrity on
the voters’ roll, the conduct of the electoral officials, the conduct of the
state machinery, and the response of the national security towards the
process,” stated Moses Wetang’ula.
Kenya Kwanza promises to EU
The bottom line of the meeting held by the Kenya Kwanza
team and the EU ambassadors was to pave the way and structure the country’s
economy as a way of building a cordial business environment between Kenya and
the EU bloc only if Kenya Kwanza will manage to form the next government.
Similarly, Kenya Kwanza also promised to work hand in
hand with European Union on matters of regional security considering Kenya is
surrounded by terrorist attacks that undermine the country’s economic growth.
“We are looking on working with you as EU on our regional
security as you all know that as Kenyans we live in a very slippery
neighborhood because of terrorism and other challenges around security. We will
work to see if we can do more with IGAD and our counterpart neighbors of East
Africa as a way of stabilizing our country’s growth and doing away with
insecurity issues,” said Mr Ruto.
In addition, Kenya Kwanza drawled a plan that once they
coordinate with the EU, they will be able to skyrocket measures to curb the
global climate change affecting the agricultural sector.
“As Kenya Kwanza, would like to work with you in
mitigating effects we obtain from the climatic change that has affected our
agricultural sector for three years consecutively due to lack of consistency
rains,” added the deputy president.
