President Uhuru Kenyatta has distanced himself from the drama surrounding the primaries. He urged those axed to respect the will of the people and stop pointing an accusing finger at him.
He thanked voters for exercising their constitutional right of granting power to leaders of their choice.“Why are people blaming me when the voters made their decision and chose the leaders they want at the nominations? Let us accept the decision of the electorate. To me, it is an indication of the level of the entrenchment of democracy in our country; and that the citizens are enlightened and know that power belongs to them, not to the leaders.”Speaking when he welcomed Omiya Faith Churches’ fraternity at State House, President Kenyatta emphasized on the need for prayers and unity.“I ask religious leaders to help us in preaching peace and uniting the country. Let us be agents of peace, unity and acceptance. Kenya needs all of us. We cannot build the country if even one single community is left behind, that is what our Constitution stands for and we are implementing fully to ensure no community or individual is left behind in our march to development. God put us together for us to enjoy, to learn and to benefit from our diversity for our mutual progress and prosperity,” the President said as quoted by capital.
