President William Ruto has assured young leaders of his commitment to mentor them.
The President emphasized that successful leadership hinges on mentoring youth to become better leaders.
“We enjoy assisting other leaders because we are happier when we see leaders better than us. That is how we will have a better country,” said President Ruto.
Speaking at Nakuru Boys High School grounds during the Akorino Annual Prayer Conference, the President told young leaders that their political future is bright.
“I want to assure young leaders of our commitment to mentor them to become better leaders in the future. However, we must respect one another,” he said.
At the same time, President Ruto assured Kenyans that he would not allow tribal politics to thrive under his watch.
“I want to assure Kenyans that we will never have time for tribal politics in this country,” he said.
President Ruto pointed out that countries in conflict, such as Sudan, the Democratic Republic of Congo, and Haiti, are seeking Kenya’s support to maintain peace in their nations.
“These countries are relying on Kenya for the attainment of peace. This means our country is truly a blessed and God-fearing nation,” the President said.
He urged leaders to embrace unity and avoid divisive politics.
“I want to plead with my fellow leaders not to divide Kenyans. We must unite our people for the sake of peace and development,” he said.
The President thanked the people of Nakuru for dismissing a group of tribal individuals who had warned them of dire consequences if they voted for Kenya Kwanza during the last General Election.
“Some leaders, who were proponents of tribal politics, came here during the last General Election campaigns and cautioned you against voting for Kenya Kwanza. But you refused to buy their tribal politics and voted for a party that propagates the politics of national unity,” he said.
