Biwott tells Rift leaders to end political feuds

Kenya: Former Cabinet Minister Nicholas Biwott has urged the Kalenjin community to shun political side-shows threatening to tear the ruling coalition apart.

Speaking during a fund raising at Chebunyo Primary School in Chepalungu Constituency, Biwott said leaders should put the unity of the community before their personal interests. He warned that division would spell doom for the community.

The former legislator expressed optimism on the Government saying its leadership was capable of driving the country to a greater height and asked political leaders to show support and stop frequent squabbles. “We need to support the Government for the country’s good,” said Biwott. Biwott was accompanied by Bomet County Women Representative Cecilia Ngetich, Chebunyo Ward Representative John Chepkwony and Chepalungu Sub-County Administrator Philip Ruto.

He asked Kenyans to embrace the Nyumba Kumi initiative rolled out by the government as a guarantee to their security and safety.
