Deputy President Kithure Kindiki has called out leaders who only incite the people without giving solutions to the many challenges they face.
Kindiki insisted that the work of leaders is to offer solutions to challenges affecting the people.
“The work of leaders is to find solution to problems affecting the people not to move around inciting members of the public and offering zero solutions,” he said during a funeral in Elburgon, Molo.
The Deputy President faulted such leaders saying that the politics of division and violence has previously placed the country into a dangerous path and it should not be a direction the country takes.
He urged Kenyans to resist such persons because that is old fashioned politics.
“There's nothing wrong with politics and we must not all agree, people are free to hold different political opinion. What we don’t want is incitement and division because we have been there before and we know how painful it is to incite the public against each other, to bring division and violence. The politics of violence, division and incitement are old fashion politics.
“We must resist as a country. Those forming political parties there is no problem but stop saying the party belongs this community or religion it will bring division. Our democracy must mature.”
Kindiki hailed the ruling United Democratic Alliance (UDA) saying that it believes in the ideology of economic transformation of the country.
He said this is being done through programs that promote economic empowerment from the bottom upwards.
The DP called on all other parties to bring forth their plans if at all they are interested in having healthy dialogue about the development and future of the country.
He added that any political formations established on the basis of ethnicity and division will only derail Kenya prosperity.
“The other 91 political parties have the duty to put forward their policy propositions to facilitate a healthy national discourse on Kenya’s future. Political formations established on the foundations of hate, parochialism or ethnic chauvinism only serve to distract Kenya’s push towards prosperity and viability,” Kindiki added.
