The National Anzauni leader and who serves as National Liberal Party Leader Dr Augustus Kyalo Muli has called on President William Ruto to seek guidance from Council of Elders in the country on current political tensions being witnessed in the country.
According to Dr Augustus Kyalo Muli, The Constitution of Kenya 2010 Section 159 (2) recognizes National Unity as an important value in governance by providing for the promotion of Alternative Dispute Resolution, a function of the council of elders. And with peace being integral to national unity and economic prosperity, Anzauni clan leader argues that President William Ruto should widely consult Council of Elders on how to resolve the ongoing political crisis before holding any national dialogue.
“The National Policy On Culture And Heritage (2018) in safeguarding the culture of Kenyans provides for the protection of intangible cultural heritage passed from one generation to the next to preserve a people’s history and unity” He said
He adds that given the authority and influence, Councill of Elders have been involving promoting peace among communities and act as the lead voices in communities, speaking about the oppression and the challenges that need to be addressed.
Dr Muli argues that if the president reaches out to the Council of Elders , the conversation and insights he will get will help provide an enabling environment for bolstering cohesion and national unity.
His sentiments comes barely hours after ODM leader Raila Odinga gave out a list of conditions for joining President William Ruto’s call to form a national of government unity , adding that he is ready to drop his AU Chairperson bid for the sake of the nation.
Similar move was witnessed by Azimio faction led by Wiper Leader Stephen Kalonzo Musyoka and DAP-K Party Leader Hon Eugene Wamalwa who distanced themselves from calls for national dialogue, adding that such a move would be again the masses who want nothing but action.
Dr Augustus Muli was speaking exclusively to Channel 15 Scoop Of The Week Chief Editor Edward Mutia.
