President Uhuru Kenyatta has called on Kenyans to reject Opposition coalition NASA presidential candidate Raila Odinga's candidature during the forthcoming polls.
Speaking during his tour of Kajiado County, the Head of State cautioned the locals against voting the former Prime Minister, accusing him of inciting Kenyans and dividing the country along tribal lines.
"When a leader starts talking of flushing out members of other communities, that is a recipe for disaster," he said.
"We will not allow politicians to go dividing others on ethnic lines. It shocks me when a leader who wants to lead this country comes here and starts saying those who are not from this area should go. We ask him to go where? Isn't where you are living where your home is?" He posed.
Uhuru further drummed up support for his reelection, pledging to address the plight of the Maasai Community should he win the forthcoming general elections.
"Our campaigns have always been on a platform of national unity and peaceful co-existence, because we are allowed to live and own property in any part of this country. Wherever you are living, that is your home. We should not allow any leader to shed blood on account of politics," he said.
