Kitui Governor aspirant Charity Ngilu has urged Kenyans to remain united as the country prepares for the August 8 polls.
Addressing supporters in Kitui on Thursday, Ngilu pleaded with Kenyans not to be fall prey to divisive politics being perpetuated by rogue politicians.
The former Lands Cabinet Secretary (CS) said that the country’s peace lies with Kenyans.
“I am appealing to Kenyans across the country to embrace unity and peace as we prepare to vote on August 8,” she said as quoted by the People Daily.
Ngilu said that country must remain united regardless of who wins or loses the August 8 polls. She hit out at some politicians who she claimed want to plunge the country into chaos through divisive talk.
The Narc Party leader challenged the National Cohesion and Integration Commission (NCIC) to be firm and deal with hate mongers.
She said that the county’s peace cannot be negotiated, adding that it is the responsibility of every patriotic Kenyan to preach unity.
Ngilu at the same time urged Kitui residents to endorse her gubernatorial bid saying she has their interest’s heart.
The former Lands CS exuded confidence of becoming the first woman to be elected governor on August 8.
“I am going to be the first woman governor because my opponents will be send packing by 8 am on the election day,” she said.
Ngilu asked residents not to be swayed by his competitor’s cheap promises, saying they have nothing to offer.
The former CS is eyeing to send incumbent Julius Malombe packing on her Narc Party. Malombe is seeking re-election on Wiper party ticket.
Senator David Musila is also in the race contesting as an independent candidate.
