President Uhuru Kenyatta has challenged Kenyans to embrace peace and unity as the country gears up for the general elections.
“Kenya needs all of us. We cannot build the country if even one single community is left behind,” he said.
“That’s what our Constitution stands for and we are implementing fully to ensure no community or individual is left behind in our march to development," he added.
Speaking on Wednesday at State House when he met with the Nomiya Faith Church from Nyanza, the Head of State noted that the political process should not cause enmity among Kenyans, calling on Kenyans to embrace the country's ethnic and cultural diversity.
“I ask religious leaders to help us in preaching peace and uniting the country. Let’s be agents of peace, unity and acceptance,” he said.
“God put us together for us to enjoy, learn and benefit from our diversity for our mutual progress and prosperity," he added.
