Clergy
urges President Kenyatta to engage other Nasa Principals in dialogue.
PRESIDENT Uhuru Kenyatta has been urged to
also engage the other three Principals of the National Super Alliance {NASA}
Coalition in dialogue with an aim of uniting Kenyans after the last year’s
General Elections.
Bishop Patrick Lihanda of Pentecostal
Assembly of God {PAG}-Kenya says it is very much important for the Head of
State to also engage the other Nasa Coalition Principals namely Musalia
Mudavadi of Amani National Congress, Kalonzo Musyoka of Wiper Party and Moses
Wetangula of Ford Kenya in the same manner he has engaged Nasa Leader Raila
Odinga whom he met last week.
Speaking at the Church’s Headquarters at
Nyang’ori in Vihiga County yesterday, Reverend Lihanda said the President has
done an honorable thing by meeting the Opposition Leader Raila Odinga because
it a move meant towards the beginning of the country’s healing process.
“I thank God for answering our prayers
because we have been praying for this country so that both President Kenyatta
and Opposition leader Raila Odinga to meet and iron issues. Our country has
begun to heal and I fully support what the two Leaders have done,” Rev. Lihanda
says.
He says the Country is now heading to a
right direction after the meeting between the two leaders, adding the Kenyans
can now see a blessing a head.
Rev.Lihanda says it is also now okay for
the President Kenyatta to accommodate the three principals of Nasa.
“My prayer and plea to President Kenyatta
is to also engage the other three Nasa Principals so as to dialogue on the way
forward for our Nation because the most important thing is to unite the country
and forge ahead.It is therefore important for the President Kenyatta to
accommodate other opposition leaders as this will greatly help the country to
forge ahead,” Rev. Lihanda adds.
The Clergy has urged all Kenyans to support
what has happened between President Kenyatta and Opposition Leader Raila Odinga
whom have met with an aim of uniting the country.
“I want to urge all Kenyans to support what
has happened between President Kenyatta and Raila Odinga whom have met and
started the process of uniting Kenyans. Kenyans should live in peace and
harmony,” Rev. Lihanda further says.
He has lauded the National Assembly for a
move to start speaking in one Voice as witnessed on Wednesday.
The clergy has further politicians to
keenly watch their utterances so that what they say should not divide the
country.
The urges the Government to consider compensating
the victims of the violence which rocked some parts of the country during the
electioneering process.
“Politicians should weigh what message they
pass to the public so as not to incite Kenyans against one another. They should
stay in harmony and should help in preaching the message of peace and uniting
among Kenyans,” he adds.
President Uhuru Kenyatta last week met
Opposition Leader Raila Odinga at office of the President at Harambee House where
they held a meeting and later addressed the Nation together.
The meeting seems to have jumpstart the
process of healing the country after Last year’s General Elections which deeply
divided the country after a heated political contest between leading
protagonists President Uhuru Kenyatta and Opposition Leader Raila Odinga.
