Kenyan President William Ruto has said that pursuing political aspirations must further justice in the country.
Ruto said such action should not undermine but expand freedom.
“It must also deepen our democracy and security,” he noted.
He asked leaders not to weaponise their grievances to injure the vulnerable.
“We must reconcile our diverse views and resolve the raging disagreement over the Finance Bill.”
He was speaking on Wednesday in Nairobi during the National Prayer Breakfast.
Ruto urged Kenyans to seek God to help them recognise the decisions they must make as they take part in the finance debate.
He insisted the Government was committed to implementing affordable housing to tame unemployment and slum proliferation.
“We must choose between running our country with tax revenues or living beyond our means in more debt.”
He said Kenya was at the threshold of a transformation, a moment that calls for courage.
“Our commitment is under test; only bold decisions will make us unlock our potential.”
He asked leaders to be united by a vision of a strong, secure and prosperous Kenya.
Ruto maintained that no leader should afford to pursue an agenda of sabotage in the name of competition.
“Although our ideas may differ, we must never wish that this nation fails, or that her people suffer, just to vindicate our politics.
