Deputy President William Ruto on Sunday asked other NASA co-principals 'to accept and move on' over Friday's meeting between President Uhuru Kenyatta and Raila Odinga.
Speaking at Njoro Anglican Inland Church in Nakuru, the Deputy President said the meeting between Kenyatta and Odinga should not be criticized, saying it was for the common good of the country.
Ruto asked other National Super Alliance (NASA) co-principals Kalonzo Musyoka, Musalia Mudavadi and Moses Wetangula to play a leading role in the country’s unity process and the transformation agenda.
"After the 2013 election, many people did not believe that Kenyans can set their political differences aside and work together. Even when President Kenyatta and Raila Odinga, there are those who could not believe it,” said Ruto.
“We are urging the other opposition leaders who are yet to join us in the unity process to do so for the sake of the country,”the DP added.
The DP said the journey of massive development in the country which began in 2013 has been boosted following the meeting between the two.
The Deputy President further said that the Jubilee government is ready to work with all leaders with the aim of transforming the country.
He was accompanied by Nakuru County Governor Lee Kinyanjui, his Nyandarua County counterpart Francis Kimemia, MPs Susan Kihika, Kuria Kimani, Charity Kathambi, Ndindi Nyoro among other leaders.
