Deputy President William Ruto has warned politicians against introducing divisive politics in the unity pact between President Uhuru Kenyatta and Opposition leader Raila Odinga.
Speaking in Mombasa, Ruto said the electioneering period had ended and leaders should put more focus on development issues.
“We should shun hatred, wrangles, tribal and party politics. Let us all unite, work together and bring development to Kenyans,” he said.
Mr Ruto asked politicians to let Kenyans make their own political decisions.
“Kenyans are very intelligent people. They know the decision they will make when the time comes,” he said.
The DP also urged all the arms of government to work together to fight corruption in the country.
"The fight against corruption is the work of the government. The Executive, Legislature, and Judiciary must team up so that we can effectively work against those who undermine our development and our progress through corruption," he said.
This is a fight for the development of our nation and therefore all of us must stand on the same side.”Ruto further urged leaders to steer clear of petty issues and focus on fighting corruption.
