I will not interfere with the courts at all. For now,[William] Ruto is a political necessity, but you know in politics we do have blind loyalties and if we are to win this battle, we have to use all options available.

You cannot have free and fair elections while one party controls completely and monopolizes the instrument of power and .. Tsvangirai is in and out of police cells almost on a daily basis, when people are being arrested, people are being beaten up.

I congratulate the outgoing Nigeria President Mr Goodluck Jonathan for his grace in conceding defeat.

If someone like Musalia [Mudavadi ] ruled Kenya, he would not be able to effect the radical changes I talk about.

We cannot build county councils based on one single constituency. It doesn't make sense because it does not have a sufficient revenue base to be able to provide the services that county councils are required to provide.
