President Uhuru Kenyatta has once again called on leaders to shun divisive politics and strive to unite the country.

Speaking today at Kapsabet in Nandi County during a fundraiser at AIC Kapsabet mission, President Kenyatta said that no one person can succeed
without the support of the other.

He called on the National Assembly and the Senate to end the war of words over division of revenue, saying politics of chest thumping at
functions will not lead them anywhere.

President Kenyatta advised leaders to organise forums where they can sit down and discuss issues they feel have not been addressed so as to eliminate unnecessary political fights.

The president was responding to sentiments by Senate Majority Leader Kithure Kindiki that the Senate is ready to fight the National Assembly
after they redirected the Sh1 billion meant for facilitating Senate’s oversight role to counties.

A total of Sh19 million was raised towards the construction of the church.

The Deputy Governor assured the ADS team that they would work together and borrow ideas from them as the county Government of Nandi, he invited them to meet the relevant bodies in the county government

Enforcing the Directors sentiments that ‘Take your place, Do your Work’. That, Counties in Russia and Canada developed due to educational uplift. Educational empowerment is key to ultimate economic empowerment.

On Security he asked the residents of Nandi hills to keep vigil, Insecurity was seen as foreign being in Somali at first, Nairobi but now it is within us. He urged the citizen present to work with both National government and County government, although security is not one the devolved function but we have to work together as entrenched in the constitution of Kenya and Asked the National government to devolve part of the security function to county governments.

party has since stirred some political temperatures especially in the URP wing with some slow embrace the idea, however the leaders led by Governor Lagat, Women Rep Zipporah Kering, Aldai MP Hon Cornelius Serem and Nandi MCAs cleared the air over the matter, terming the new merger as nothing abnormal but a formalization of the JUBILEE Party.
