Deputy President Kithure Kindiki has called on leaders to reflect and examine themselves, to build sustainable and meaningful relationships.

Speaking at the 22nd National Prayer Breakfast on Wednesday, May 28, Kindiki said the event was an opportunity for leaders to take stock of their leadership journey. "It's good to examine ourselves at every point, so that we are not on one continuous journey, making good speed but without the reflection to help us understand whether we are doing the right thing," he said.  The DP noted that the prayer breakfast offered a timely moment for leaders to assess the country's progress and shortcomings.

Kenya-Tanzania relations Referencing the recent social media spat between Kenya and Tanzania following controversial remarks by Tanzanian MPs, Kindiki urged for calm and diplomatic engagement. "We need to work on these relationships continuously.

I hope that, in light of some of the exchanges we've seen from our political leaders in both countries, we can use a moment like this to help arrest the situation.
