Africa-Press – Kenya. <\/strong><\/span>Interior CS Kithure Kindiki has said that the politics of ethnic mobilisation and incitement is dangerous for the country.<\/p>\n

Kindiki said such politics has no place in the Kenya of today and in the future.<\/p>\n

He said Kenyans must speak against and shame the perpetrators of ethnic hate.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe mobilisation and incitement of ethnic communities against each other is a barbaric, cruel and dangerous political misadventure that poses grave danger to our Country’s future,”the CS said.<\/p>\n

\u201cKenya’s ugly past experience with ethnically brewed violence should jolt all of us, whatever tongue we speak and whichever part of the Country we come from, to resist and to name and shame the propagators of ethnic hate and the “us” versus “them” narrative that nearly destroyed Kenya in December and January of 2007-2008.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Interior CS commended President William Ruto for affirming his stance against the politics of ethnicity and personalities.<\/p>\n

Kindiki insisted that the unity of Kenya and security of the country supersedes any other loyalties.<\/p>\n

\u201cGrateful to President Ruto for reminding us in his address to the Nation today, to eschew ethnic politics as the sure way of shielding ourselves from taking the slippery path of hate that has destroyed many Countries,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Speaking during the Madaraka Day Celebrations at Masinde Muliro Stadium in Bungoma on Saturday, President William Ruto promised Kenyans that the politics of ethnicity are behind them.<\/p>\n

“Going into the future I want to promise the people of Kenya that we will never go back to the politics of ethnicity and personalities and politics that people are not in the centre,” he said.<\/p>\n

“I want to assure you that we will work hard to make sure that our politics is focused on an agenda of developing Kenya.”<\/p>\n

Other leaders including Defence CS Aden Duale also said the Kenya Kwanza government has delivered a united Kenya, governed by democracy, the rule of law, and constitutionalism.<\/p>\n

He said they aim to further create equal opportunities and prosperity for all, regardless of background, tribe, religion, or any other affiliation.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe President’s remarks aptly capture our journey as a nation. Indeed, we have come a long way, painstakingly freeing our people from the shackles of tribal bigotry and ethnicity,\u201d Duale added.<\/p>\n

\u201cTribalism and Corruption is a threat to National security, creates political instability, economic underdevelopment, and poverty.\u201d<\/p>\n
