National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetang'ula has cautioned Kenyans against jeopardising the spirit of unity in the East African Community.
Speaking in Bungoma County, Wetang'ula criticised what he described as a worrying trend of Kenyans travelling across the region to stir political tensions, instead of fostering the unity on which the East African Community (EAC) was built. "The East African Community is not a community of flags, not a community of presidents-it is a community of the people of East Africa," he said, echoing the vision of regional founding fathers Mzee Jomo Kenyatta, Mwalimu Julius Nyerere, and Dr.
Milton Obote. "I want to urge my fellow Kenyans who have started a bad habit of roaming all over East Africa to go and foment trouble, to go and cause disaffection," Wetang'ula said.
His remarks follow the recent visit to Tanzania by former Chief Justice David Maraga, People's Liberation Party leader Martha Karua, and other activists.
