Uhuru: Justice, peace and unity will prevail over threats and insults

President Uhuru Kenyatta has reiterated that threats and insults will not discourage him from working to improve the lives of Kenyans.

Uhuru emphasized that he will continue focusing on national unity and peace as the most important ingredients for the country’s progress.

The president was speaking to Mathare residents after launching the Mama Margaret Kenyatta Children Hospital in Nairobi County’s Korogocho informal settlement on Friday.

“I will continue to stand firm in my resolution that national unity is the most important thing for the country’s development and progress. I believe that justice will prevail, not threats and insults,” Uhuru said.

The President cited the newly opened hospital as an example of the developments that can be achieved if all leaders worked together for the country’s common good.

“If all of us, as leaders, join hands and concentrate on working together, we will succeed in transforming the lives of Kenyans. A good example is this hospital project that had stalled for close to 30 years, but we managed to finish it when the national and county governments together with other leaders joined hands to ensure its completion,” the president said.

Uhuru urged the youth, including boda boda riders to be wary of politicians out to misuse them for cheap political mileage.

He assured boda boda riders and other small traders that the Government has no intention of frustrating them as purported by some politicians, but it is working to improve their welfare.

“I will organize to meet you soon so that together we can work on how to improve the sector and ensure you reap maximum benefits from your sweat,” Uhuru assured boda boda riders.
