A section of elders from the North Eastern region have urged Kenyans show respect for President Uhuru Kenyatta.
Elder drawn from Garissa have faulted their Rift Valley counterparts after they asked President Uhuru Kenyatta to declare his stand on the 2022 election.
Kenya Livestock Marketing Council chairman Dubat Amey speaking on behalf of the elders in Garissa town emphasized on the importance of showing respect for the Head of State.
“They appear to be making threats, and we can’t accept that. The top seat is not a reserve for a few tribes. We are surprised by their utterances. Elders should be in forefront building bridges. They should help cement the handshake by championing peace and unity. We need to move forward," the elders said.
This is after elders from Rift Valley said Uhuru’s silence on William Ruto's 2022 bid was sending mixed signals.
The elders who addressed the press in Nakuru on Wednesday, urged Uhuru to explain what the March 9 handshake with Opposition leader Raila Odinga entailed.
