Today\u2019s meeting illustrates a discussion of leaders with similar thinking for Kenya, a united and prosperous nation,\u201d said Wangwe.<\/p>\n<p>Atwoli said continued collaboration has strengthened the relationship between the Rift Valley and Western region.\u00a0\u201cIt is through exchanging of views that a country is built. Our meeting has strengthened our political relationship with Rift Valley leaders for a united country,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Atwoli said such collaboration will ensure BBI and Handshake goals are realised. \u201cWith political goodwill and unity this country has great potential.
