Prime Minister and Cabinet Secretary for Foreign Affairs Musalia Mudavadi has called on the people of the Mt Kenya region to join other Kenyans in promoting the country’s unity.
He said Kenya’s prosperity is hinged on the unity of purpose that will propel development across the country.
He further challenged the region to solidify their support for President William Ruto, for he means well for the region.
He was speaking when he attended a church service at the African Independent Pentecostal Church of Africa in Othaya, Nyeri County.
“Kuna wakati wa enzi za rais wa tatu Mwai Kibaki, watu walikuwa wakilalamika sana kwamba headlines za gazeti zinabadilika sana. Kibaki akasema leteni gazeti zote za wiki, na kuagiza kila headline isomwe. Mwisho akasema mnaona kila siku headline inabadilika, kwa hivyo headline isiwafanye mkose kufanya kazi. Focus is very key since the headline that does not change is the unity and development of all Kenyans.”
“Na nyinyi watu wa mlima mkiteleza, mjue sisi tuko tayari tutachukua. Tunawaambia ukweli, better a bird in hand than 10 in the bush. Many regions are saying we wish we had just a fraction of what the Mt Kenya region has. So you need to work with the President, who has a lot of faith in the people of this region.”
“Regions like Western Kenya have never ruled this country, but they support the government, so this notion that you have to support the government because one of your own is at the helm is not the correct philosophy for a united Kenya.”
