ODM leader Raila Odinga on Monday met leaders from Garissa County who had paid him a courtesy call to show solidarity with the Building Bridges Initiative .
Addressing the Press after meeting the leaders, Raila stressed the need for the country to shun politics of ethnicity and discrimination.
“We want to tap the great potential that the country has in order to better the lives of Kenyans,” he said.
Raila, who spoke in his office at Capitol Hill, also clarified that the war on corruption does not target any tribe or individual as it is being alleged.
National Assembly Minority Whip and Suna East MP Junet Mohammed, who was part of the delegation, supported the ‘handshake’ saying it is the only way that can ensure that the country remains united.
While calling on all Kenyans to remain united, Junet also sought to know why only one leader in the country has been protecting those involved in corruption.
The leaders who have come under scrutiny for alleged corruption include governors Moses Lenolkulal (Samburu), Okoth Obado (Migori) and Ferdinand Waititu (Kiambu).
