“We as Rabai community and Kilifians have agreed to work with the President and we are optimistic these new arrangements is going to address the imbalances we were seeing before.”

The legislator said those still propagating tribalism have no future in leadership and electorates should vote them out during elections.

He added that the focus should be on harmony between communities and not tribalism.

Mijikenda Council of Elder chairman Mwinyi Mwalimu, on a phobe interview, supported the working relationship between the two leaders saying it would address and fix matters surrounding the Social Health Authority (SHA).

“We are confident that the deal signed by our president and ODM leader is for the better of this country. Let them address the issues affecting health sector. We want to see the deal also improve the economy and create jobs for our youths who are the majority,” he said.

He disclosed that the two leaders had prioritized the country’s well-being by putting aside their political interests.

“By putting aside their personal interest, Ruto and Raila have shown true leadership in striving for peace and prosperity. The country needs unity for purposes of succeeding.
