President Uhuru Kenyatta has urged Kenyans to ignore the lies and propaganda spread by the Opposition to tarnish the Government’s development record.
He said among the major challenges the country was facing included divisive politics and hatred being propagated by politicians.
“As Jubilee, we are committed to uniting the country and serving all Kenyans irrespective of tribe or religion. The problem with our opponents is that they are more concerned with dividing the country than serving Kenyans,” President Kenyatta said.
The President commended Kwale leaders for working with the Government in development, saying the welfare and interests of the residents should always supersede those of the leaders.
He rubbished claims by the Opposition that the Government wanted to grab land, pointing out that his Administration has issued more titles deeds in the four years it has been in office than all the past regimes combined.
President Kenyatta – who started the second round of his voter registration mobilization campaign in Mombasa and Kwale counties – spoke when he stopped to address residents at Likoni, Kombani and Ukunda before he issued citizenship documents to the Makonde community at Sawa Sawa grounds in Msambweni.
He particularly urged the youth to register in large numbers so that they could participate in choosing progressive leaders who will cater for their interests and take the country forward.
“With a voter’s card, you will ensure that you count in determining your future and no leader will disregard or use and dump you,” he said.
The President warned the youth against engaging in violence and criminal activities, saying they should instead embrace dialogue in addressing and any grievances they might have.
