In a stirring call for unity and national progress, Hon. Shadrack Okindo, the UDA chairman Mombasa county has reached out to a section of Mount Kenya leaders, urging them to shift their focus from divisive politics and instead throw their full support behind their political kingpin H.E Rigathi Gachagua who currently serves as the Deputy President of the Republic of Kenya.

In recent times, political discourse in Kenya has been dominated by heated debates, factionalism, and divisive rhetoric, particularly within the Mount Kenya region. However, Dr. Okindo, known for his unwavering commitment to national cohesion and progress, has sounded a clarion call for a departure from this trend.

“It is time for us to set aside our differences and work towards a common goal – the development of our nation and the improvement of the livelihoods of all Kenyans,” Hon. Shadrack Okindo stated emphatically during a public address in Mombasa. Acknowledging the significant role played by Mount Kenya leaders in shaping the political landscape of the country, he emphasized the need for them to prioritize the interests of the nation above personal or regional agendas.

“The time for politicking is over. We must now shift our focus to the pressing issues facing our country, such as unemployment, poverty alleviation, healthcare, and education by supporting President William Ruto and his deputy Rigathi Gachagua” Dr. Okindo declared.

Central to this appeal was the call to bring down the cost of living, a pressing concern for many Kenyan households. He stressed the importance of implementing policies and initiatives aimed at reducing the financial burden on ordinary citizens, particularly in the face of the current economic challenges.

“Our people are struggling to make ends meet, and it is our duty as leaders to alleviate their suffering. We must work tirelessly to bring down the cost of living through strategic economic interventions and prudent fiscal policies,” Hon. Shadrack urged. Furthermore, he underscored the significance of unity and collaboration among political leaders from different regions and backgrounds in driving national development agendas forward.

As the political landscape continues to evolve, the impassioned plea from Hon. Shadrack Okindo serves as a timely reminder of the importance of prioritizing national development over divisive politics, and the crucial role that unity and collaboration play in shaping Kenya’s future. It is now incumbent upon Mount Kenya leaders to heed this call and chart a course towards a brighter and more prosperous future for all Kenyans.
