President William Ruto has asked leaders from various political affiliations to support ongoing efforts to unite Kenyans through his broad-based government.
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tour of Kisii and Nyamira counties on Tuesday, August 13, President Ruto said tribal and sectoral politics was outdated.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.”
Present were Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua, Kisii Governor Simba Arati, MPs, and MCAs.
In Nyaribari Chache Constituency, President Ruto broke ground for the construction of the KSh3 billion Kisii County Cancer Treatment Centre that will serve the region.
The 76-bed facility will help in cancer awareness, prevention, screening, early detection and diagnosis and provide the latest treatment options, including chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and surgery.
The Head of State also commissioned the Outpatient, Surgical, and Mother and Child units at Keroka Level IV Hospital in Nyamira County.
He also launched Nyaribari Masaba Affordable Housing Project at Ekerubo, Kisii County.

On the Last Mile Electricity Connectivity Programme, the President said KSh650 million will be used to connect 10,000 households in Nyamira County.
Later, the President launched the tarmacking of Metembe-Ngenyi/Bobaracho-Ititi/Rioma-Nyaore/Marani-Nyakoe roads at Marani, Kisii County.
President Ruto said the government will spend KSh4.5 billion to build roads in the county to improve the region’s transport infrastructure and spur economic growth.
Mr Gachagua said he fully supported the recently appointed Cabinet Secretaries, including those from ODM.
“Kenya belongs to all of us. We will therefore support the President in his quest to unite the country,” he said.
