President Uhuru Kenyatta has appealed to Kenyans to shun divisive politics and focus on the national development agenda.
Speaking in Nakuru town on Tuesday, when he kicked off the issuance of 40,000 title deeds to residents, Uhuru said that time is over for leaders to engage in politics and concentrate on matters of development.
He also said that his government will continue defends Kenyans from all walks of life.
Uhuru alluded that he will dedicate his time to uniting Kenyans during the remaining part of his tenure in office.
“This is a year for work. Those whose business is to use every opportunity to do politics should look for other gatherings to do so. We’ve been here for less than 30 minutes and we’ve finished our business here,” the President said.
He added: “We want this to be the year of work. A year when we fulfil our promises to the people. Not every time to do politics as if there’s nothing else to do.”
The President noted that the issuance of the Title Deeds is one of the ways to celebrate the freedom fighters. The head of state went ahead to direct the lands docket to waive all charges on documents issued to the residents.
He made the remarks hours after he reorganized his cabinet. In the new changes, he sacked Agriculture CS Mwangi Kiunjuri.
