Prime Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi has urged Kenyans to reject tribalism, hate speech and divisive politics, calling for national unity, peaceful coexistence and shared development as President William Ruto continued his engagements in West Pokot County.
Mudavadi made the remarks while accompanying President Ruto during development engagements in Sigor and Kapenguria, followed by a public rally in Makutano. He said Kenya’s future should be anchored on peace, mutual respect and progress that benefits communities across the country.
“Kenya’s strength lies in our unity, not our differences. Our future must be built on peace, respect and shared progress,” Mudavadi said in a statement shared on his official social media account.
The Prime Cabinet Secretary challenged Kenyans to reject political messages that exploit ethnic differences or promote hostility, arguing that national cohesion remains important to the country’s development agenda.
Mudavadi also emphasised the need for development initiatives that create employment opportunities, empower young people and improve livelihoods across communities.
His remarks placed economic progress alongside national unity, with the government’s development agenda focusing on projects and opportunities intended to benefit Kenyans in different regions.
The West Pokot engagements provided an opportunity for President Ruto and his delegation to interact with residents during development activities and a public rally in Makutano. Mudavadi thanked the people of West Pokot for the welcome and reception extended to the delegation.
Mudavadi further highlighted what he described as Kenya’s growing diplomatic engagement under President Ruto, saying the country was strengthening international partnerships and amplifying Africa’s voice on the global stage.
Kenya’s diplomatic relationships and international cooperation remain important areas of government engagement, particularly in pursuing economic partnerships and advancing the country’s interests abroad.
Mudavadi’s remarks linked the government’s domestic priorities, including jobs and improved livelihoods, with its international engagement, while underscoring his call for political leaders and citizens to promote unity rather than division.
His message in West Pokot centred on the need for peaceful politics and development that reaches communities across Kenya, as the government continued its regional engagements.
