Maendeleo ya Wanawake Organisation has cautioned politicians against inciting their supporters to violence ahead of the elections.

 Chairperson Rahab Muiu said they are alarmed by rhetoric spewed by some leaders, which might be a recipe for chaos.

 "The public utterances made by some politicians are not statements to be happy about. As women of this country we are worried a lot," she said. She said what the country experienced in 2008/07 should not be allowed to recur.

 "As MYWO, we are non-aligned to any coalition but we shall seek an audience both from the government and the Opposition to make a commitment to a peaceful general election," she stated.

Speaking on Friday at Cherangany when she led a delegation of officials to the home of former chair Senator Zipporah Kittony, she the national chair challenged women to rise up and take leadership. -Fred Kibor
