"All of us worked together. We did not mind who was a Kikuyu and who wasn't. The Agikuyu are also Kenyans like any of us. Nasa government or Raila has no reason to favour others and leave the Agikuyu out," Raila told residents in Kiambu, which is predominantly occupied by Kenyans of the Agikuyu community.He said they would be more comfortable in Nasa government contrary to what some of them say."Nasa government is an inclusive government that will take care of needs of every Kenyan including the Kikuyu. Infact you'll be more comfortable than you have ever been in any government," he said.
