Machakos governor Dr. Alfred Mutua has asked leaders of the opposition to preach peace ahead of the planned swearing-in of Former Prime Minister Raila Amolo Odinga.
According to the governor, Kenyans want leaders who are out to unite Kenyans and not preachers of hatred. He further said that Kenyans will be glad to be invited to celebrations and sad situations.
“We want peace and not violence. We want to attend weddings and baby showers and not funerals. We want our lives back from these leaders who have been playing with them. We want to be given respect and not seen as children of a Shithole land,” he said.
The sentiments of the county boss come when the National Super Alliance (NASA) has insisted that the swearing-in plan of the Luo political kingpin is on. The leaders have said that President Uhuru Kenyatta and his Deputy William Ruto are holding their positions illegally. The leaders have vowed to fight electoral injustices.
The plan to swear in Raila has continued to elicit mixed reactions from different factions including the international community. The foreign nations have asked Raila and Former Vice President Stephen Kalonzo Musyoka to shelve their plans to be sworn in for the sake of peace.‘
