Nderitu while speaking at the KICC further reminded legislators and Kenyans that the highest political maturity that can be practiced ahead of the August polls is tolerance.
“We must be tolerant to ideas that are coming from different areas, even if you have your say; you must allow others to have theirs provided it is within the law. The signing of the peace charter is a win -win to the country, political parties and candidates. It is a signpost to our collective commitment to promote and advocate for peace in our respective roles,” Nderitu said.
