Deputy President William Ruto has cautioned Rift Valley region leaders against making inflammatory remarks during political rallies.
The warning comes just days after Uasin Gishu governor Jackson Mandago, Kapseret MP Oscar Sudi and Nandi Hills MP Alfred Keter allegedly made inciting remarks during a political meeting.
Speaking in Eldoret town on Tuesday evening, Ruto warned the leaders against fueling tension in the region as the country gears up for the general elections.
“Leaders must be leaders in all aspects. We do not expect divisive remarks from any person calling themselves a leader. I come from Uasin Gishu and you must respect that. You cannot go around talking as if you are not leaders. You should be good examples,” he noted.
Ruto further affirmed Jubilee adminstration's commitment to uniting Kenyans and promoting national cohesion.
