President Uhuru Kenyatta has asked political leaders in the country to use the country’s diversity for the betterment of the nation instead of abusing it for personal gain.
While attending a church service at
Redeemed Gospel Church
in Huruma, the president sent a message to the opposition politicians asking them to unite with the erst of the country during his swearing-in ceremony on Tuesday and in the days to come.
"Like in any competition, there will be winners and losers but in terms of the election we, as Kenyans, are all winners. Our responsibility after the political competition is to come together and work to build the nation," he said.
He added that Kenyans want to live together in unity and so they should not be dragged into incessant political battles.
“Within the political world, it is normal to have differences but that does not mean we can’t co-exist and live together in peace."
