Khekiye also urged the gathering to uphold the legacy of their forefathers with honesty and integrity.
Calling for a change in the electoral system, he lamented that in Nagaland, anyone who possess money can be elected because people only worship money politics.
While politicians do buy votes, Khekiye wondered whether people are aware that politicians may not have a choice, given that many are selling their votes.
He said people often point finger at the politicians that they are all corrupt despite being aware that they are corrupt. He stated that many present ministers, advisors and MLAs obtained loan during the election while they pay a certain interest of loans every month and year.
After post election, he said politicians no more care for any development activities for the people. Considering this state of affairs, Khekiye said that people are equally corrupt as they are the ones creating a corrupted system.

He also appealed all the Nagas and stakeholders to have a collective voice to bring a Naga political solution.
