Deputy President William Ruto has called on all Kenyans to work together, irrespective of political and religious affiliation, in building the nation.
“The journey ahead led by President Kenyatta will involve all Kenyans. Nobody should be left behind. That journey must involve all of us as Kenyans irrespective of how we voted,” Deputy President Ruto said.
He added: “It must involve those in Government and those in the opposition. We owe it to those who fought for our independence and secured our democracy for us to work together so that our tomorrow will be better than our today and that our future will be greater than our present.”
The DP was speaking at Kasarani Sports complex during the 54th Jamuhuri Day celebration.
Nairobi Governor Mike Mbuvi Sonko emphasized the need for unity, saying the time for politics is now over and the focus should shift to delivering services to Kenyans.
First Lady Margaret Kenyatta and Mrs Rachel Ruto, the Deputy President’s wife, were among the thousands of Kenyans who attended the celebrations at Kasarani also graced by former President of Ghana, John Dramani Mahama.
