Narok Senator Ole Kina Ledama has faulted President Uhuru Kenyatta after he met with leaders from the Mt Kenya region at the Sagana State Lodge on Friday.
In an interview with Citizen TV, Ledama said that the speech of the President when he met the leaders from his home turf did not augur well with him. He retorted that the head of state has embarrassed Kenyans if he can meet his community.
"I took personal offense at the statements, “Other people do not pay taxes” “One man, one vote, one shilling” If the President can meet his own people, let us then divide this country into different regions," he said.
The senator also said that there is the need for Kenyans to speak in one voice. He said that if everything narrows down to some communities then we have lost it all at the end of the day.
"We need to think as one Kenya, it is not that certain people are more Kenyans than others. Everything seems to be boiling down to a few elites and we are now about to see every collected penny go to Mt. Kenya region," he said.
In his speech, Uhuru asked the leaders from the region to support the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI) report once it is released.
