A group of Kiambu County residents have come out strongly to champion for peace during today’s Madaraka Day and the forthcoming general elections.
According to the Kiambu County Peace Campaigners Chairlady Reverend Margaret Kahoro, they formed the group in partnership with the Ministry of Interior and Coordination and have been working tirelessly to ensure they unite all the tribes living in Kiambu County.
She added that they have partnered with the UN to end gender based violence in the society.
“Peace can be achieved when the communities are socially and economically empowered, and that’s why we have been engaging the youths in sports as a social function of the group,” said Kahoro.
“The unemployed youth if kept busy through various initiatives can be helpful in the society rather than being used by ill-intentioned politicians to cause chaos,” she added.
She further explained how they have been able to introduce all the members to all the sub-county commissioners throughout the county in a move to work with the DCs in the sub-county to champion for peace.
“We have met all the DCs in the county and we are working closely with them to ensure we achieve our goal which is to ensure peace prevails all over the county,” Kahoro added.
