“Some of these people let us not argue with them; we know where we want to go. Ningependa kuwaambia viongozi wetu tukae pamoja na tushikane, ile kitu muhimu zaidi saa hii ni voter registration. Sisi tumeanza safari na tutafanya kuhakikisha kwamba watu wanaregister votes,” Ndeti said.

“Watu wanaumia, ask me siku hizi my phone is very hot kwa sababu ya masimu napigiwa sababu ya school fees,” Ndeti noted.
