residents of Kisumu, Homa Bay, Siaya and Migori Counties in Nyanza to remain
calm before, during and after the just concluded election and the Supreme Court

move forward under the leadership of the new President-Elect.
Ngede together with the fellow clergy has appealed to
President-elect to unite the entire country as its next Chief Executive Officer
after coming from a poll which seems to have divided the country due to
political differences.
“We want to ask the new President-Elect Dr William Ruto upon
taking up the oath of office as the Fifth President to quickly embark on
uniting the entire country by embracing all the communities within this great
Republic as this is our sincere prayer that the country get united,” they say.
The clergy have also appealed to the President-Elect to
consider completing all the projects that were initiated under the outgoing
President Uhuru Kenyatta including those that were started as a result of the
handshake between the outgoing President Kenyatta and former Prime Minister
Raila Odinga.
They say while it will be very much okay for the new
President to initiate new development projects across the country, it would be
wise for him to complete the ones initiated by his Predecessor Uhuru Kenyatta
and Former Prime Minister Raila Odinga.
The clergy have maintained that they will continue to pray
for the country to have peace and tranquility to continue prevail in the country.
