“Politics is a very sensitive topic right now, the political atmosphere is complex, so even if I have an opinion, na mimi ni msanii what I would like to see is if we maintain peace as a country if people decide to do maandamano ikuwe peaceful, if they don’t decide then at the end of the day we are just trying to get an environment where peace is thriving.”
