Kikuyu Council of Elders Chairman Mwangi Thuita has urged leaders in the county to avoid fighting in public and instead solve their differences among themselves.Speaking at a baraza in Kiambaa on Tuesday, Thuita said that unity of purpose among leaders is what is required to enable counties to grow and develop."It is good for our county elected leaders to be one and to be consulting with their people before deciding on matters affecting them. We cannot achieve anything when we are in a permanent state of fighting,” advised Mwangi.He further asked leaders to respect their electorates by doing what they are expected to do, which is to ensure development projects meant to benefits locals."Do not expect voters to vote you again if you have no courtesy of honouring the contract you signed voters. When you find a tortoise on top of a table, know that someone lifted it up there; that is what we did by electing you to that post,” said Thuita.Thuita also warned leaders fond of chest thumping to stop the habit saying that pride comes before a fall, warning that they might regret whatever they do which voters think is not right.
