President Uhuru Kenyatta has urged all Kenyans to maintain peace in all the political rallies and give campaigners easy time.

Speaking during the burial of the late Interior Cabinet Secretary Joseph Nkaissery, Uhuru said that heckling politicians and throwing stones at them will not add votes on any side.

"Mimi naomba wenzetu, Democrasia ni kuhurusu mtu anene yake hata kama huyapendi, wacha aseme," (My plea to Kenyans is that democracy is about allowing people speak their mind even when you don't like them) said President Uhuru

This is coming days after NASA and Jubilee were treated with hostile grounds both in Kiambu and Kisumu respectively.

NASA flag bearer Raila Odinga's motorcade was stoned in Thika on Thursday. A day earlier the ODM leader faced resistance in Kabarnet.

On the other hand, DP William Ruto was also heckled during their tour to popularise Jubilee Party in Nyanza.

"...naomba supporters wangu na wa rafiki yangu Raila, hakuna haja ya kurusha mawe na matusi. Matusi haitaongeza kura, ngojea siku ya kura lakini usikize wote," he said.

(I urge our supporters and those of Raila to know that there is no need to throw stones and insult opponents. Insults will not add you any votes. Wait for Election Day then make a decision on who to back) said the President
