Let's preach peace in Eldoret Town

Eldoret town is not only the head headquarters of Uasin Gishu County but also the hub of North Rift Counties.

We all have an individual as well as a collective responsibility to ensure that what we witnessed in 2007-08 PEV does not recur.

Political, religious, business, professionals, farmers, athletics leaders must preach peace and cohesiveness among all communities living in the city and indeed the neighbouring counties.

This electioneering period should not be an opportunity to flex tribal muscles but rather a mechanism where Kenyans are given the constitutional role to elect their leaders in a democratic manner.

I, therefore, condemn the unfortunate fights between Boda Boda riders which almost brought the city business into a stand still. Let 2017 Election demonstrate the true spirit of our National Anthem and Constitution.

Anyone irrespective of their society status who spreads hate among Kenyans should face the full force of the Law. After elections, we remain brothers and sisters.
