"She is the first ODM minister’’ “We want change that is genuine, we voted in 2002 for leaders who have not been truthful. This year, we want to vote for Raila because he understands the ordinary man’s problem. But the one we gave the vote is not for change,” Mrs Ngilu said

I call upon Kenya’s great sons, daughters, men and women to rise with courage and hope to this new beginning. Let us all be strong and of good courage without fear.
