“Kenya hii hakuna mmoja wetu ataihama, we are here to stay, it's our responsibility to protect it & live with each other in peace,” Kenyatta said.
The Head of State has also asked Kenyans not to create enmity on basis of ethnicity and political affiliations saying that elections come and go but everyone remains to be a citizen in the country.
“Hakuna mtu mwenye alituma application azaliwe kabila hii, elections come and go and we have had elections after every five years, hata hii itapita,” Uhuru noted.
The president also took the opportunity to condemn the recent instances of violence meted against political leaders with the recent incidences against the Azimio flagbearer Raila Odinga by rowdy youths who stormed his chopper and motorcade.
“Kupiga mtu na mawe ama mshale ni kupotea njia,”Kwa uchaguzi kuna wenye watashinda na kushindwa, mwenye ameshinda asherekee akijua kuwa ata yule ambaye alishindwa ni ndugu yake”
“Mwenye ameshindwa pia akubali kushindwa na aongojee miaka mitano tena.” Kenyatta added.
According to police reports 17 people have been arrested in conjuction with the friday attack on Raila.
