Deputy President Kithure Kindiki Saturday, warned opposition leaders against any attempts to destabilize the country to gain power, declaring such acts as dangerous and unacceptable.
Kindiki said Kenya is a democratic country with well-established structures allowing for one to seek an elective seat without resorting to extremist means aimed at causing instability.
“The idea being pursued by some that you can use violence to control and manage politics is dangerous. They don’t care about the security of the nation, whether there is peace or not. Their only interest is power,” said Prof. Kindiki.
He spoke on Saturday when he graced the Baringo South Economic Empowerment at Marigat Grounds in the Constituency.
He said Kenya peace and stability cannot be traded with anything saying the present generation must guard it for future generations.
“We cannot allow such extremists to use violence to push their way to leadership.
Violence cannot be an instrument to power.
This country belongs to all of us and must be peaceful and sustainable for all, including our children and those who come after us,” he declared.
Additionally, the second-in-command called on the opposition to come up with a tangible agenda and sell it to Kenya instead of preaching violence and slogans that would not develop the country.
While pointing to the government’s firm and expansive agenda on health, education, electricity, infrastructure, agriculture, among others, he urged them to rival it instead of pursuing chaos and destruction.
