DP Ruto stresses need for Country’s leadership to enhance unity – KBC

Deputy President Dr William Ruto has said the country’s leadership should ensure unity of all Kenyans regardless of their ethnic background.

Ruto spoke at his Karen residence, during a meeting with former councillors from Kajiado County.

“There exist a real possibility for all us to come together and have an agreement that is not selfish, an agreement that brings everyone on board and creates a path for Kenyans to work together. Even as they compete they should compete on issues and not ethnicity that dive us,” He said.

Dr Ruto urged politicians to embrace issue-based political competition to avoid dividing the country saying, “Those seeking the Presidency must tell Kenyans what they will do for the Country, we should shun divisive politics and instances where leaders come together to discuss who is the kingpin of a certain community.”
