President Uhuru Kenyatta has called on Kenyans to uphold peace and unity ahead of the August polls.
The Head of State made the remarks on Sunday when he attended a church service at at Kingdom Seekers Fellowship Church in Nakuru town.
“Kenya will not be made great by one community but by appreciating each other, our diversity is not a challenge,” he said.
“I want to assure you there will be peace before, during and after elections. We have to acknowledge that Kenya will be there after election, and long after all of us are gone,” he added.
On his part, Deputy President William Ruto who was also in attendance called on the church to pray for leaders, thanking the congregants for supporting President Kenyatta through his first term in office.
“We want to thank God for enabling us achieve a lot in the shortest period under the leadership of President Kenyatta,” he said.
The two were in Nakuru County for a two-day tour aimed at drumming up support for their re-election.
