A cross-section of political leaders from both government and opposition have given mixed reactions over the Limuru III meeting that resolved to have retired President Uhuru Kenyatta remain political kingpin of the region.

Senate Majority Leader Aaron Cheruiyot said that tribal and divisive politics have no place in modern Kenya and that it was sad that leaders who have served as Cabinet Secretaries and Members of Parliament are convening a meeting ostensibly to discuss community interests.

Cheruiyot said Kenyans were not concerned about tribalism and that those leaders selling hatred among citizens should not be allowed to mislead their kinsmen saying that he believes in project Kenya where the entire country prosper together asking all elected leaders to unite the country.
