President Uhuru Kenyatta has called on Kenyans not to elect leaders who will take the country back in regards to land reforms.
Speaking on Wednesday at KICC when he launched the national issuance of title deeds, the President said that land cartels were regrouping to slow the pace of land reforms.
The Head of State urged Kenyans to elect leaders who will propel the land reforms agenda and not those who would take the country back.
“Ata nyinyi wale mtachagua, msichague watu ambao wataturudisha kwa enzi ya wizi na mambo mengine. Tunataka wale ambao watasongesha hii agenda na kuhakikisha kwamba kila mkenya ako na haki yake na mali yake,” President Kenyatta said.
