As the country enters a new electoral cycle, the Government has urged political leaders and other players to respect Kenyans, uphold national unity and conduct campaigns responsibly.
The Ministry of Interior and National Administration has assured citizens that the elections will be peaceful and voters will choose their leaders without coercion or intimidation.
Speaking during an education support event in Kajiado Central, the Interior Principal Secretary Raymond Omollo urged young people to rise above ethnic, religious and regional identities and regard themselves first as Kenyans.
“You may come from Kajiado, but you are Kenyans. When you go to school, do not see yourself only as Maasai, Kikuyu, Luo or Muslim. See yourself as a Kenyan and pursue the greater ideal of building the Republic we all aspire to,” said Omollo.
He called on Kenyans to participate in the national conversation about the country’s future beyond 2032 by sharing their aspirations in education, healthcare, infrastructure and other areas of development.
Every community, he said, must feel included in national progress and in efforts to improve citizens’ livelihoods.
