Uhuru Calls For Handshake Between Magufuli And Lisu

Date:

On Thursday, President Kenyatta said the national security is strong and Kenya is secure from threats against it.

“For this, and behalf of all Kenyans and as the commander in chief, I give thanks and praise to the brave men and women of our security services,” Kenyatta said

“They have continued to deal with terrorists, ensure they are arrested and prosecuted. Many of their plots are detected and disrupted before they can cause serious harm to innocent Kenyans.”

President Kenyatta further stated that: “The war against crime and criminality continues apace driven by the National Police Service that continues to undertake technological human resource and skills development to better serve Kenya. And while we celebrate the state of our national security, we must also recognize that our region is increasingly unstable”.

The President noted that Kenya is currently witnessing an escalating conflict caused by ethnic and regionalized competition for political power.

Uhuru said his administration is working hard to support peace and reconciliation processes where necessary.

President Kenyatta said the national security is strong and Kenya is secure from threats against it.

The president said Kenya is looking forward to exporting peace and pragmatism to its neighbors including Tanzania that just came from highly contested elections.

“We seek to export our peace and pragmatism to our region knowing that success in our region will further secure our nation. Honorable members must always remember the wages of bad politics are the people suffering and ruin,” he said.

He said many neighboring countries needed a handshake since they need politics in which competition is not turned into empty talk and walk.

They need political leaders focused on including the young and desperate. Not inciting them to revolt against their country and elders. We have learned as Kenyans that elections alone cannot bring peace and unity to a divided people; for that leaders must reach out to each other and build bridges over turbulent waters to allow the people to cross into safety and prosperity,” he said.
