I want to tell fellow leaders that this is not the time for us to be disunited - Ruto. 

President William Ruto has asked leaders from various political affiliations to support ongoing efforts to unite Kenyans for the sake of unity and transformation.   

Speaking during his second day of a three-day development tour of Kisii and Nyamira counties on Tuesday, August 13, President Ruto said tribal and sectoral politics was outdated. 

The President appealed to leaders who do not support the broad-based government to do so in the spirit of patriotism.

"I want to tell fellow leaders that this is not the time for us to be disunited, to think about selfish interests or our political formations. This is the time to think about Kenya," remarked Ruto. 

The Head of State added, "Let us all work together towards transformation, progress, and unity so that we can overcome poverty."
