Solvistar Sablon:
“I don’t think Kenyans learned any lesson from what happened during the 2007–2008 Kenyan crisis. You cannot speak about democracy while attacking, threatening, or silencing people simply because they hold different political opinions. True democracy is built on tolerance, respect, and the freedom for every Kenyan to support the leader or party they believe in without fear. Let us reject bandwagon politics, tribal divisions, and political intimidation. Kenya belongs to all of us, and peace must always come before politics.”

“This has really hurt me. May God comfort her and may her husband rest in peace. God is near to the brokenhearted… peace of the Lord be upon this family.”
