Solai MCA hopeful kelvin Waweru has called on residents of the region to maintain law and order during this campaign period and not allow themselves to be used to perpetrate violence.
The aspirant addressed the residents and members of the media at KFA, where he cautioned young people in particular to champion peace during the campaigning for August 8 general elections.
The larger Solai region has witnessed a spike in verbal violence in recent months, and Mr Waweru, who is a Nakuru-based journalist and security expert, said the people should be allowed to choose their leaders freely without the threat of violence. He urged his political opponents including the incumbent to desist from using decisive words that can trigger violence.
The aspirant castigated President Uhuru Kenyatta for engaging in verbal altercations with opposition governors, saying the president was lowering the dignity of his office. "We have seen some reckless remarks made by the president in Turkana and Mombasa counties and call on him to lead by example because his remarks can tear our nation apart".
Mr Waweru, who is running for the seat on a Jubilee party ticket, also called on cabinet secretaries responsible for agriculture and emergencies to step in and save vulnerable families during the current drought situation hitting the country.
