Prime Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi has called for concerted efforts to promote peace and human security, both locally and globally, during his remarks at the Haiti Concert and Cultural Festival held at Uhuru Gardens on Sunday.
Mudavadi emphasized the importance of peace, stressing that anarchy undermines societal stability and exacerbates crises in areas such as healthcare, education, and food security, leading to widespread human suffering.
During his address, Mudavadi expressed his gratitude to President William Samoei Ruto for responding to the call of the Haitian people, standing in solidarity with them in their time of need.
He highlighted the significance of global cooperation, urging the international community to join Kenya’s mission by providing troops or logistical support to ensure that Haiti’s women, youth, and general populace can experience peace and prosperity once again.
