NAIROBI: KAMKUNJI OOYEE, VOTE PEACEFULLY


                                Mr. Abdirahman Mohamed Ali-Founder-theafricanvoices

It has been discovered here in Kenya, that people who attained 18 years of age and above prefer to either sit at their various homes and watch people vote or they prefer to sell their voting power all because of unworthy gratification. It is pertinent at this point that people who don’t vote may be moved to do so if they have a better understanding of how their votes count.

The importance of voting can only be understood by making it personal, giving concrete examples of how votes affect them and their country. The Ballot or the Bullet, the name of the speech given by human right activist Malcolm X delivered on April 3, 1964 at Cory Methodist Church in Cleveland, Ohio, Malcolm advised African-Americans to judiciously exercise their right to vote.
I appeal to Kamkunji residents to turn out and cast their votes in large numbers. Let us do so peacefully. Let us also embrace one another as brothers and sisters even after the outcome. God placed us in a beautiful country, Kenya. Let us remain united and focused on the work ahead. As we recite from our National Anthem "may we dwell in unity, peace and liberty, Let us all play our role in creating a great Kenyan nation, at peace with itself and respected among the greater family of nations.
