Nairobi Gubernatorial candidate Johnson Sakaja has urged Kenyans to vote wisely during Tuesday’s general election.
He asked them not to be influenced by leaders who do not preach peace during polls.
Moreover, while speaking during a church service attended by Deputy President William Ruto in Kayole, Sakaja noted that legislators should take the lead in fostering harmony during the election period.
“We are serious about Nairobi, because Nairobi has always been the worst affected by conflicts from past elections. Here in Nairobi, we know the pain of violence and the sweetness of peace. This time round it’s going to be different because we know better,” he said.
Furthermore, Sakaja warned Kenyans against being tribalistic stressing that everyone is equal.
Likewise, the Nairobi senator affirmed his hope that the youth will take a stand against leaders who incite violence among them.
“Our young men refuse to be used by leaders to disrupt the peace. It is not right to let one in power make you see your neighbor as your enemy because of the tribe,” he stated.
