Kalonzo still keen on G7 alliance deal

By VPPS

Vice-President Kalonzo Musyoka wound up his three-day tour of Isiolo County, saying he enjoys good working relationship with Deputy Prime Minister Uhuru Kenyatta and Eldoret North MP William Ruto. 

Addressing a leaders meeting in Isiolo town, the VP said he was consulting Uhuru and Ruto to work together for the sake of peace.

“We are consulting and this morning I talked with Uhuru and Ruto who is in Nandi,” said Kalonzo.

And speaking at the St Eusebius Cathedral Catholic Church where attended the Sunday Mass, Kalonzo reiterated his wish to unite all communities in Kenya irrespective of their political affiliation, creed, colour or ethnicity.

He said he is ready to build on President Kibaki’s legacy and ensure the country realises peace and further development.

Kalonzo strongly condemned the grenade attack on Utawala International Community Church in Garissa town, which killed an Administration Police officer and injured others.

War on terror

He said it was disheartening that places of worship were targeted by few criminals with the intent of harming innocent faithful, warning their days are numbered.

“I am optimistic these are the last kicks of Al Shabaab terrorising wananchi in Garissa,” said the VP.

He told the church and worshippers to be more vigilant to help identify the criminal elements.

“Although it is God who can protect our nation and restore peace in Somalia, it is advisable that we become more vigilant in places of worship to avert such incidents,” said Kalonzo.

Isiolo Catholic Diocese Bishop Antony Ireri Mukobo led the service.

East African Community legislative assembly member Peter Mathuki, Isiolo County Commissioner Wanyama Musiambo and Chairman Isiolo County Council, Adan Giro, were present.

Kalonzo asked locals to live in peace in the cosmopolitan county.
