Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has asked elected leaders in Nairobi county to work together towards bettering the lives of the city residents.
Stating that Kenyans desire that political leaders work together irrespective of their political formations, the Deputy President similarly asked all MPs, MCAs, Senators, and governors to avoid divisive politics in matters of development.
The Deputy President spoke at his official residence in Karen Wednesday, April 24, during a meeting between Nairobi county elected leaders, Nairobi Rivers Commission, and senior government officials on the regeneration of Nairobi rivers which he hosted.
Mr Gachagua said the Kenya Kwanza administration would work and engage with all elected leaders irrespective of their political party affiliation.
"The elections are over and what we have now are elected leaders irrespective of which part of political formation they come from. Do not allow myopic politics to come your way. Serve the people without checking political formation. Elections are over, we don't have this side or that side. We are supposed to serve the people," remarked Gachagua.
