Written by Inka FM on 13 March 2025
President William Ruto has heaped praise on Raila Odinga for his patriotic stance, as he urged other leaders to join them towards realizing the dream of a united country.
The two party principals signed a work agreement framework on Friday, March 7, 2025, that, among other issues, seeks to address the problems facing the youths of the nation and unite the country.
Speaking while addressing the residents of Langata during the opening of Langata Technical and Vocational College on Thursday, March 13, 2025, Ruto expressed his readiness to work with all leaders in transforming the country.
The head of state reiterated his agenda of uniting Kenyans, as he challenged political players to shelve personal gains in imitation of the former prime minister.
“You know that we have agreed with Raila. I must say this for the record. There has been no community in Kenya that are visitors. All communities in Kenya are in Kenya by God’s design, and it’s my responsibility as the leader in Kenya to work with all leaders, patriotic leaders.
“Raila is the foremost patriotic leader who has decided that the unity of Kenya, the progress of our nation, and the transformation of our nation are very important to all of us. I want to tell other leaders, let us join forces. All Kenyans, let us be patriotic to our nation. Not for the benefit of leaders or the purpose of elections but for the transformation of our nation,” Ruto said.
The president was accompanied by area MP Felix Odiwuor, alias Jalang’o, and several MPs from UDA and ODM, as well as Nairobi governor Johnson Sakaja.
Other leaders present at the event included Nairobi Woman Representative Esther Passaris, Ruaraka MP TJ Kajwang, Makadara MP George Aladwa, Antony Oluoch of Mathare North, and nominated Senator Karen Nyamu.
