“I will continue Building Bridges with Raila”

President Uhuru Kenyatta says he will continue working with opposition leader Raila Odinga in ensuring that the country achieves sustainable national reconciliation, unity and peace.

He said there is no greater legacy for him than to leave a peaceful, healed and united nation where all Kenyans feel included in matters of socio-economic development.

“I will continue working with Raila Odinga. We need to be inclusive on how we manage our affairs. We must be inclusive to foster national peace, development and prosperity,” said President Kenyatta at Kisii High School where he met leaders from Kisii and Nyamira counties.

“We must move together as a nation where no Kenyan feels being left out,” he added.

President Kenyatta who was accompanied by DP William Ruto and Raila Odinga said only inclusivity that encompasses equality and equitable sharing of resources will take the nation to the next level of development.

He said the Building Bridges Initiative which was crafted after the historic 9th March 2018 handshake with Raila aims at bringing all Kenyans together by working on the inclusivity agenda.

Through the handshake, said the President,“ We agreed to bring Kenyans together by rejecting politics of division.”

At the meeting, Kisii and Nyamira leaders led by Governor James Ongwae engaged the Head of State on various development issues before he proceeded to the upgraded Kisii Teaching and Referral hospital where he unveiled several new facilities.
