People’s Party of Kenya (PPK) leader Ndindi Nyoro appealed to political leaders to exercise restraint in public statements, emphasizing that Kenya’s cohesion transcends any individual leader.

Speaking at the consecration of ACK All Saints Nakabosan Church in Turkana South, Nyoro warned that insults, foul language and divisive politics could undermine national unity and jeopardise peace ahead of the 2027 General Election.

He criticised the government’s decision to withdraw security details from opposition figures, citing the removal of protection for Trans Nzoia Governor George Natembeya as an example.

The Anglican Church of Kenya’s Archbishop, Dr Jackson Ole Sapit, echoed the call for peace and responsible political discourse, urging leaders to place national interests above personal ambitions as the election approaches.

Nyoro also highlighted the church’s role in education and health, noting that partnerships with faith‑based organisations help improve service access for marginalised communities.

He pledged that the opposition would prioritise free basic education, including day secondary schooling, arguing that removing financial barriers is essential for every child to complete their studies.

Accompanying leaders raised concerns about rising insecurity and livestock theft in the region, urging the government to take responsibility for protecting residents and their property.
