Ms Laboso, who spoke in Khwisero during the burial of the mother-in-law of former Nairobi woman representative Rachael Shebesh, Doris Elizabeth Ongoche, on Monday said the committee would spearhead reconciliation, dialogue, and healing.
"The committee is not political and members have their work cut out for them. It will not be a walk in the park but we are determined to make it happen," she said.
"Politicians have never been permanent enemies. I was a member of ODM at some point but here I am in Jubilee. Therefore, politics should never divide our country,” Laboso saidShe added: "Kenyans must be willing to put aside their political differences following a heated political contest between Jubilee and NASA and continue living together in harmony. Kenyans must resist the temptation to hate one another due to politics."
"Campaigns and elections are behind us now. We need to start looking at the issue of nationhood more seriously.”
