Bishop Korir observed that the political temperatures are rising and Kenyans must remember that they are brothers and sisters.
The Catholic bishop cautioned Kenyans against being influenced by political divisions saying that the country needs to move forward.
“Kenyans should embrace each other and know that they are here for one another and keep the spirit of togetherness,” he said.
Korir said the country needs to be peaceful adding that every citizen must play his or her role in ensuring peace.
