A group of peace ambassadors have called on Kenyans to embrace peace and unity as they are virtues of development and prosperity.
Speaking yesterday during a press briefing at the sidelines of Peace Ambassadors consultative forum held at Ofafa Jericho Comprehensive School, Nairobi, the team noted that the country was prone to economic and social challenges if peaceful co-existence didn’t prevail.
Led by founder and CEO, for Global Unity for Peace and Development (GUPD) Ambassador Eugene Kavune Nzabonimba, the leaders said they were preparing to embark on nationalwide peace mission.
Amb. Nzabonimba said his team that has members from all the 47 counties was disturbed by some political leaders who were fond of spewing hatred among Kenyans.
“Without peace, there is no development, without peace, learners will not be able to concentrate with their studies. Without peace, all things grounds to a halt,” he said as he called on leaders to embrace peace, more so during the upcoming electioneering period. He said without peace, Kenyans will have a hard time and no where to turn to.
Amb. Nzabonimba called both public and private sectors to support his organization’s initiative so that they could be able to accomplish their mission.
While noting that Kenyans had constitutional rights of holding peaceful demonstrations, such privileges should not be abused by targeting government or private properties for destruction as it has been witnessed in the past.
His sentiments were supported by his colleagues; Ambassadors Mark Korir from Rift Valley region and his Western counterpart Emmily Nafula who went further to call on churches to reign on leaders who took advantage of church podiums to preach hatred among Kenyans.
Amb. Korir noted that those advancing hatred among Kenyans were just a few leaders, who he adviced the churches to disregard and stop giving them forums to attack fellow Kenyans.
On her part, Amb. Nafula urged leaders to always be mindful of what they say in public.
