President Uhuru Kenyatta has warned that the Government will deal firmly with those out to threaten Kenyans over politics.
The President said the Government will not stand by and watch politicians incite wananchi to fight each other because of politics.
He said the aim of Jubilee Government is to ensure the country moves forward and all Kenyans live together in harmony.
The Head of State was speaking Thursday in Mombasa where he launched various infrastructure projects.
The projects included Buxton footbridge, Bamburi Storm Water drainage and High Mast Floodlights and Ziwa la Ng’ombe informal settlement improvement project.
He challenged politicians to avoid insults and embrace mature politics that will give room for people choose their leaders without coercion.
“There is no need to risk the lives of Kenyans because of petty politics,” said President Kenyatta.
“We have no time to quarrel with anyone but to implement development projects which will uplift the lives of all Kenyans,” he added.
The President said when the season for politics comes, he will move around the country asking for votes peacefully from wananchi and urged all political leaders to learn to respect each other by selling their policies peacefully.
President Kenyatta also urged the people of the Coastal region to guard against people who are out to disrupt the existing peace and harmony, saying the region largely depends on tourism which cannot thrive in instability.
“My Government is implementing projects to bring long lasting impact in the lives of all Kenyans not cheap projects which fill the stomachs of a few,” said the President.
He said the implementation of school electricity project, non-payment of exam fees, Managed Equipment Services in hospitals, construction of various road projects in the Coast region and the issuance of title deeds reflect the development agenda championed by his Government.
