Quotes

• We came here to discuss things like violence and violent activities, and remind citizens that these things are outside of the law, and it doesn't help our country. So, we must avoid becoming victims of politicians who come and give us arms, give us knives, and a little bit of money to go and cause trouble during the election.

• We are doing this work not only here, but in various less endowed communities around the country. We are giving extra attention to those communities because we want the message to sink here very clearly. Because a lot of times it is the young people from these areas that are misused or misled into taking up illegal activities around elections.
