I wish our leaders should continue talking, they shouldn\u2019t close doors for dialogue,\u201d Mwangangi said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe shouldn\u2019t forget about the public in those talks. The public should form the basis of discussion,\u201d Mwangangi said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI know my governor, your governor, our Governor Wavinya Ndeti, is among leaders in the country who doesn\u2019t sleep because of the residents of Machakos who elected her into office. At the national level, let\u2019s not forget about citizens.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;If things start becoming better, let it not be better only to leaders, but all Kenyans and in that way we are going to prosper as a county and country,\u201d Mwangangi added.<\/p>\n<p>On the anti-government protests, Mwangangi said there&#8217;s need for intervention by all stakeholders including the clergy to avert the situation and avoid more loss of lives and property .<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBoth the government and opposition have spoken. It\u2019s important for our leaders to listen to what the church is saying to cool down the political temperature in the country,\u201d Mwangangi said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cInvestors are running to the neighboring countries because the working environment is not conducive. Its high time we go back to church, pray and repent as we lead Kenyans,\u201d Mwangangi said.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/kenya\">Kenya<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Kenya.
