Silence is not cowardice
“Na nilikuwa nafikiria ya kwamba siku ya kuitana mkutano wa NDC ingekuwa ile siku ya kwamba mimi nilikuwa nimewaambia sasa ni wakati wa kuchagua viongozi wengine. Lakini, wengine wameamua yakwamba kazi itakuwa ya vitisho na kulazimisha. Siku ya leo nimewaambia tafuteni mwingine siyo Uhuru wa Kenyatta.”
Uhuru further stated that his silence should not be taken as an act of cowardice.
“When you see others staying quiet, it’s not because they’re cowards; get that out of your mind. Intimidation can never work. It’s impossible. Behave like leaders, and you will be respected, behave like thugs, and you will be treated like thugs,” he stated.
Uhuru further promised to revive Jubilee through the leadership of the youth and women.
“Have we agreed to awaken Jubilee? The youth and women, you are the majority. We want you to take the step and take up Jubilee leadership. We want to help you take Jubilee forward, “said Uhuru.
