[Photo|PSCU]President Uhuru Kenyatta led Kenyans in sending off the late Rt Rev Cornelius Korir praising him as a peacemaker who never tired in his quest to foster peace and unity.He called on politicians to resolve their differences through constitutionally acceptable means instead of setting Kenyans against one another.He said Kenya was a democratic country which has constitutional avenues, Parliament and the courts, of resolving political disputes.Uhuru said he had proved his respect for the Constitutional processes by accepting the nullification of his 'clear victory' in the August 8 general election.“Let us resolve our problems through our Constitution and let us compete in peace,” said Uhuru on Saturday.Deputy President William Ruto said he would stand with Kenyatta as he continued to build bridges of friendship and brotherhood in the country.He said Kenya was more united today than it was in 2013 when the Jubilee government came into power despite new threats from the opposition.Ruto indicated Bishop Korir was successful in peace building because of his firm character and disregard of political correctness and convenience.
