Ruto Sends Special Request to Mt Kenya Region Hours After UDA Humbled Gachagua in Mbeere North

President William Ruto has requested the people of Mt Kenya region to permit him to unify the region with the rest of the country through tangible and visible long-term development projects.

Speaking in Kiambu and to be specific, Limuru's area of Kamandura during the launch of another 6-lane highway that will be completed by next year, Ruto told the region that Kenya needs development and not tribal politics.

Also in his speech, Ruto appeared to comment on the latest victories in the just-concluded by-elections including Mbeere North, when he thanked Kenyans for always standing and supporting leaders with visions instead of chants and slogans.

"Mimi nawaomba kwa unyenyekevu mkubali niunganishe taifa letu la Kenya. Tuungane pamoja. 

Tuondoe ukabila, tuondoe chuki, tuondoe migawanyiko. Kenya ni moja. Umoja ni nguvu. Na tutasonga mbele tukiwa taifa moja la kenya.

"Ama Kiambu mnasemaje jameni. Ama mnasemaje? Mnasema tuungane na tutembe pamoja? 

Ebu nione wale wanasema twende pamoja. Kwa mapenzi ya mungu na usaidizi wa mungu, Kenya hii lazima ibadilike," Ruto said amid chants.

Interestingly, the message from Ruto comes just hours after the IEBC confirmed that Leonard Wamuthende won the race against Karish of DP with just 494 votes.
