Dear Friends,
Today, in the presence of a multitude of people at Uhuru Park, Pst David Owuor- a revered Man of God, 6 Presidential Candidates led by the Rt Hon Prime Minister Raila Amolo Odinga pledged to accept the verdict of Kenyans on the 4th March and more so, pledged Peace.
The six Presidential Candidates were;
Raila Amolo Odinga,
Uhuru Muigai Kenyatta,
Peter Kenneth,
Martha Karua,
James Ole Kiyiapi, and the ever green,
Mwalimu Abduba Dida.
It was a sight worth beholding as each Presidential Candidate took time to pledge for a Peaceful General Election, I was reminded of the various manifestos that I have taken time to look at.
I was intrigued by the absence of honesty on the part of our leaders. I have listened to all of them on their campaign trail as they traverse the Country soliciting for votes and I saw them lying between their teeth in the presence of the Man of God.
But being the optimist that I have all along been, I want to for only once believe that they committed themselves before the Man of God, the People of Kenya and before God that they will respect the results on the 4th March and invite all their supporters to respect the same.
On behalf of The Clean Kenya Campaign, and on behalf of all the Partners who have joined with us in The Human Peace Caravans that we have hosted across Kenya under the auspices of Kenyans for a Clean General Elections, I want to sincerely congratulate Pst David Owuor- a Man of God and his Team of Bishops who made Uhuru Park congregation happen for joining with us to preach for Peace in our Country.
It is worth noting that Kenyans for a Clean General Elections Campaign was launched on the 5th January 2013 and we have preached Peace within our limited resources to;
Huruma- 5th Jan 2013
Highrise in Kibera- 12th Jan 2013

Mathare- 19th Jan 2013
Dagoreti- 26th Jan 2013
Dandora- 2nd Feb 2013
Makadara- 13th Feb 2013
Kisumu- 16th Feb 2013
Westlands 20th Feb 2013.
We have a series of events next week that will culminate with Prayers and Award Ceremonies at The Courtyard at KICC on the 3rd March 2013 at 10am.
I want to really appreciate all our Partners for the support they have given to us to make these Human Peace Caravans the success stories they have been and I want to really appreciate the Administration Police Band and the Traffic Police for leading all these processions in Our Journey of Hope across Kenya.
I want to sincerely appreciate The Provincial Administration, the IEBC, the National Steering Committee on Peace Building and Conflict Management and the Freedom House for their support and partnership. We will give the extents of these Partnerships on the 3rd March 2013 as we appreciate all our Partners and Team Members at KICC.
We are happy that our message has rung out loud and clear, and from the many reactions we are seeing across the Country, it was never in vein.
May the good Lord grant us the Grace and Love to know that we are all One Family under God and come 4th March 2013, we can all vote in Round 1 for our preferred Presidential Candidate with the full knowledge that Kenya is marwa.
It will be a mistake to drag this thing to Round 2. Let us make up our minds and save Kenya the ignominy of a gloomy future by making the right choices.
Let us all work for a Clean Kenya, a Clean Africa and a Clean General Election as a Transformative Deliverable as we turn 50 in Kenya.
