President Uhuru Kenyatta has urged politicians to engage in mature politics that will not divide the people ahead of the August polls.
He warned that the government will deal with politicians who engage in hate speech, violence and incitement.
Uhuru, speaking in Mombasa on Thursday, said the Government will not watch as politicians incite the people to fight each other because of politics.
“There is no need to risk the lives because of petty politics,” said Kenyatta as quoted by citizen digital news.
He challenged politicians to avoid insults and instead give room for people to chose their leaders peacefully.
“We have no time to quarrel with anyone but to implement development projects which will uplift the lives of all Kenyans,” noted the head of state.
