Uhuru called on Kenyans to pray for the country and for them as well as the leaders to work together
Former President Uhuru Kenyatta in his brief address appealed for peace and unity as well as an end to tribalism as he made his first address in front of impeached and former Deputy Rigathi Gachagua and President William Ruto.
This rallying call made on Saturday, November 16 at the consecration of Bishop Peter Kimani at the Embu Catholic Archdiocese came following a political fallout between the two which resulted in Gachagua’s impeachment by the National Assembly and the Senate.
Uhuru called on Kenyans to pray for the country and for them as well as the leaders to work together, stressing that togetherness in the country should be the main priority and that the country cannot grow if leaders and citizens continue engaging in conflict.
“We should pray for peace in Kenya. Let us pray for cooperation between Kenyan citizens and leaders. Let us stop tribalism and let us love each other,” he urged the crowd which broke into loud cheers.
“We are all Kenyans. Kenya cannot go forward if there’s conflict amongst citizens and when there is no respect for each other. Leaders, respect the citizens, and the citizens will respect you.”
