The gains from the presidential debate may not last though, and candidates were back on the campaign trail. Uhuru Kenyatta says he is seeking power to work for Kenyans and not foreigners, referring to insinuations that Kenya may suffer sanctions if the jubilee team takes office.
Eagle Coalition flag bearer Peter Kenneth campaigned in Nairobi and Kajiado counties where he urged Kenyans to elect new leadership. Enock Sikolia was on the campaign trail and has more.
Yes, former President Uhuru Kenyatta made several statements during his time in office emphasizing that his primary duty was to serve the interests of Kenyans, not foreign powers or external interests.
His stance was often aimed at asserting Kenya’s sovereignty and self-determination, especially in the face of external pressures or criticisms—whether from foreign governments, international organizations, or investors.
In Nairobi, Kenneth has a history of political involvement, having contested for the gubernatorial seat in 2017. He has consistently advocated for effective governance and accountability. In Kajiado, his campaign focused on unity and development, aligning with his broader vision for a prosperous Kenya.​
Kenneth’s call for new leadership reflects a broader sentiment among some Kenyans who seek change and progress in the nation’s political landscape.
