President William Ruto has called on leaders from both the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) and the United Democratic Alliance (UDA) to stop attacking each other and instead focus on delivering services to the people.

Speaking during an Iftar dinner hosted for Muslims in Mombasa, the President emphasized that political leaders carry a heavy responsibility to serve Kenyans and should avoid divisive politics.

The Head of State warned that constant political fights, insults and divisions among leaders only distract from the core mandate of serving citizens.

“We want our leaders in ODM and UDA to stop attacking each other. The responsibility you carry on your shoulders is that of serving the people. Stop the fights and focus on service delivery,” the President said.

He reminded leaders that Kenyans will judge them based on their development record and not on political insults or name-calling as the country moves closer to the next elections.

“Next year we willball be going for a test. Leaders will be judged by their track record and what they have been able to do for the people, not insults, name calling, tribalism or divisions,” he added.

The President further cautioned politicians against promoting tribal or divisive politics, noting that Kenyans are increasingly demanding unity and development-oriented leadership.

“Kenya will not allow a leader who divides people. Our country needs leaders who unite citizens and work for the benefit of all,” he said.
