The Orange Democratic Movement leader and NASA alliance co-principal Raila Odinga has urged Kenyans not to be tribal ahead of 2017 August 8 elections.
Speaking at Meru Slopes Hotel, Raila said that Kenya is not in any way owned by any political leader nor political party or Coalition.
“There is no Kenya called Mt Kenya region or Jubilee stronghold or NASA stronghold. There is no Kenya of Uhuru Kenyatta or Raila Odinga or Kalonzo Musyoka or Musalia Mudavadi or Moses Wetangula,” said Raila Odinga.
He further added that their presence in Meru was to re-affirm that Kenya must remain indivisible.
“We are here to listen to Kenyans living in this part of the country; their fears, hopes, and expectations.
“The more we have listened, the more we have learned that the problems, dreams, fears and aspirations are not any different from those from the other parts of Kenya.
“We are here to sell our policies as NASA and invite the people of Meru and Tharaka Nithi and all Kenyans to join the push for lasting change that is gathering momentum across the nation, propelled by a shared feeling that the nation is sick and needs a cure.
“Above all, and most importantly, we are here to reaffirm our belief that Kenya is, and must remain one indivisible nation.
“There is only one Kenya, the Republic of Kenya. We are seeking the unity and the oneness of this nation.”
