President Kenyatta Assures Kenyans of a Smooth Transition Process

President Kenyatta has assured Kenyans that the transition process will be smooth.

Kenyatta made the commitment during a meeting with religious leaders who paid him a courtesy call at State House, Nairobi on Thursday.

The interfaith group comprising Archbishop Martin Kivuva of Mombasa Catholic Archdiocese, Archbishop Antony Muheria of Nyeri, Anglican Archbishop Jackson Ole Sapit and the Deputy Secretary General of the Supreme Council of Kenya Muslims (SUPKEM) Hassan Ole Naado, commended Kenyatta for his leadership which has ensured peace, stability and cohesion amongst the Kenyan communities.

Other members of the clergy present included Sheikh Yusuf Nasur Maki, Nairobi Catholic Archdiocese, Archbishop Philip Anyolo, Bishop Emeritus David Oginde, Bishop Emeritus Silas Yego, Bishop Robert Langat, Canon Chris Kinyanjui and Father Ferdinard Lugonzo.

The clergymen also expressed gratitude to Kenyatta for working towards a united Kenya by creating a path of inclusivity for all Kenyans.

“The President thanked the religious leaders for their support and assured them that the process of transition will be smooth,” State House said.

Kenyatta had earlier met and held discussions with visiting US Senator Chris Coons who paid him a courtesy call at State House.

Senator Coons, who is leading a congressional delegation of US Senate and House Representatives, commended Kenyatta for ensuring peace and stability prevailed during the election period.

 “We are encouraged by the peace Kenya has continued to experience during this period,” said Senator Coons.

On his part, Kenyatta said Kenya will remain steadfast in entrenching the principles of good governance to ensure the country upholds its position as a shining example of democracy in the continent by maintaining peace during this transition period.

“My greatest desire is that peace will prevail and we may set an example in the continent and the world,” Kenyatta said.
