Machakos Governor Alfred Mutua has urged Kenyans not to be divided by politicians who he says are out to satisfy and fulfill their own selfish needs.

“Kenyans must keep off politicians who are known to preach and perpetuate tribalism and hatred,” he said.
The Machakos governor urged Kenyans to remain firm and only support leaders who have vision for development.
The Machakos boss also asked Ukambani locals to remain united.
He said that some politicians are traversing the region with the aim of causing divisions.
“We must be careful of people who are only interested in creating divisions and animosity amongst us," said Governor Mutua.

He said that the Movement agenda is to take development to grass roots.
The governor hit out at critics criticizing the movement saying that he will not be intimidated by criticisms.
